An Extraordinary Logic: God in Literature

by Nino Kebadze

God in literature is probably something one encounters in the act of reading more often than one considers it as an idea apart, so when asked to write on the topic, I catch myself wanting to describe instead what I find: a glimpse into the ineffable. “There is only one name by which the divine nature can be expressed: the wonder which seizes the soul when it thinks of God.”

Nino Kebadze

Nino Kebadze is an associate professor in the Department of Latin American and Iberian Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston. She was born in Tblisi, Georgia, completed her doctoral studies at the University of Kentucky, and currently lives in Boston.
