Daniel Ritchie is a Christian literary scholar concerned about the ideological captivity of literature and literary studies. He provides a constructive alternative in his book Reconstructing Literature in an Ideological Age: A Biblical Poetics and Literary Studies from Milton to Burke, combining readings of works from the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries with a Biblical theology of language and books. In Ritchie’s view, literature is a way of obtaining wisdom, not a tool of propaganda.
