520 |a Jonathan Swift's theological views have always elicited widely diverse responses. Relatively little is known about the immediate setting of Swift's childhood and the influencing factors of this period which shaped his views. However, what we do know helps us get a fuller grasp of Swift as a man, writer and clergyman, and the portrait that emerges is far more nuanced and complex than many of his statements might lead us to believe. In this volume, Zimpfer explores the life and sermons of Jonathan Swift. Leading readers through contextual and literary analysis, Zimpfer successfully argues that Swift accomplishes 'intelligent apologetics' in his sermons, and highlights the paradox and the nature of the connection between Swift the priest and Swift the satirist.
