Leland Ryken is professor of English at Wheaton College. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Oregon and has authored such books as The Apocalyptic Vision of Paradise Lost, Culture in Christian Perspective and How to read the Bible as Literature.
This is a teacher's book, written by an able teacher.... Most
people are interested in literature because of a deep love for
literature itself. They want to understand the reasons for that
love. Ryken helps us do this, but he also helps Christians
understand and validate their love for literature.... Ryken has
also provided a solid means for non-Christians to understand a
Christian perspective on literature.... It [Windows to the World]
comes closer to defining the goal and task of the teacher of
literature than any work I have read.
