I thoroughly enjoyed your paper Blake’s Aesthetic Theology. Your arguments were sound and I was pleased at your conclusion. I’m afraid I am not intelligent enough to comment any farther and will take my seat at the back of the class. 🙂
Ha… that’s the problem with posting your scholarship to a blog. Too much like school. Glad you liked it, though. Encourage your library to order my book 🙂
I have a new found respect for school and learning. I will suggest Blake and Kierkegaard: Creation and Anxiety to the local library but they will probably ask me to donate it.
