{"product_id":"9780802817686","title":"The Devil and Pierre Gernet","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrilliant scholar and wordsmith David Bentley Hart turns his mind and imagination to narrative fiction in this volume, The Devil and Pierre Gernet, a thought-provoking collection of four short stories and one novella. Anticipating questions about his shift in genre, Hart writes that \"God is no more likely (and probably a good deal less likely) to be found in theology than in poetry and fiction.\"  These stories -- \"The Devil and Pierre Gernet,\" \"The House of Apollo,\" \"A Voice from the Emerald World,\" \"The Ivory Gate,\" and \"The Other\" -- beguile and entrance the reader through Hart's engrossing, opulent writing style and the complex characters he evokes and explores.  Often bedazzling, sometimes heartbreaking, and ultimately mesmerizing, Hart's wide-ranging stories are united by a common thread of haunting religious and philosophical questions about this life and the next. Here is fiction to fully engage both the mind and the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EERDMANS TRADE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47673670434868,"sku":"9780802817686","price":45.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9780802817686.jpg?v=1776380166","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9780802817686","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
