Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The book begins with Matthew Arnoldâs âDover Beachâ and its withdrawing âsea of faithâ as time and again Schad finds the figure of the Christian to be beached, a fish out of waterâa queer fish, in fact. This, then, is a book that is all at seaâbeginning with Charles Darwinâs voyage to âthe extreme point of Christendomâ that was South America, and ending with James Joyce and Jacques Derrida in âthe same boat,â the same ruined, but sea-going, boat that is the 20th-century Western Church. In between: Karl Marx is to be found in 1848 watching the âwaves of revolutionâ withdraw in Berlin; Sigmund Freud stands incredulous by the shore of Loch Ness; Oscar Wilde is laughed at in the rain at Clapham Junction; and Charles Dickens visits a church for the drowned, a church for ship-wrecked corpses.

About: At some point in the 19th century God died, the world grew secular, and Christianity became oppositional, irrational, odd, even queer - or so the story goes.
