Christianity in Bakhtin : God and the Exiled Author
Accurately discerns Bakhtin's significant Christian commitments. Stephen Bigger rated it really liked it Aug 08, Phil Wyman rated it really liked it Jan 29, Joel S rated it liked it Apr 23, Thomas marked it as to-read Dec 04, Adam marked it as to-read Jun 17, Mihailovics argument in thorough but his attitude towards Bakthin's inclusion of these elements is less sympathetic to the notion that Bakhtin may have taken these components of his thought quite seriously, and as integral to his overall body of work. Instead Mihailovic assigns these religious tones to the category of metaphor which in many ways, assist Bakhtin in making his claims, but do not operate at the level of essential for Bakhtin's system and its implications for the reality of human speech.
Overall this is an excellent book that is not too difficult to read that is thoughtfully and humbly written. One person found this helpful. I'm not sure how Mr. Kowal can review a book, much less give it three stars, without having read it. His complaint that this book is not the only book to deal with Christianity in Bakhtin could have been eliminated had he read Coates' work.
At the time her book went to press "Corporeal Worlds" had not been published. In a footnote on page , she mentions "Corporeal Worlds" and acknowledges that, from what she has heard, Mihailovic's view of Bakhtin seems to be similar to her own. She goes on to write that she was unable to obtain a copy before submitting her manuscript to the publisher.
Christianity in Bakhtin : Ruth Coates :
Of course, one would have to read it in order to know this information. As for the book itself, it is a clear, well-written work that adds to the growing Bakhtin literature here in the west. Coates has explored a much neglected and important aspect of Bakhtin's work. The fact that she was unable to read the at-that-time unpublished "Corporeal Worlds" is hardly a criticism.
Just because a copyright date is one year earlier doesn't mean that the work was available at the time the more recent book had to go to press. Even if you're not completley up to speed on the ideas of the Russian thinker Mikhail Bakhtin, this book offers a good introduction and overview of his work while also looking at the larger theological implications in his writings. Recommended highly for others who are trying to tie together the various threads of postmodernism in contemporary Christian theology.
I have not read Christianity in Bakhtin, but the advertising blurb that represents it as "the first full-length work to approach Bakhtin from a religious perspective" might be overstating the case. Another book, Corporeal Words: Mikhail Bakhtin's Theology of Discourse, by Alexandar Mihailovic Studies in Russian Literature and Theory, Northwestern, , has already addressed some of the same ideas suggested by the title of the other book.
