Theology and literary aesthetics make uneasy bedfellows; yet theologians, critics, novelists, poets, and even philosophers have tried to exploit the two-way analogy between the artist and the Creator. Mr. Rillie argues that although most uses of the analogy have been ' false ' there is one standpoint from which it can illuminate both theology and criticism.
