“Schad reads as he dreams, or dreams as he reads.” Derrida Today

“The modern theoretical re-evaluation of literature has given way to a renewed interest in religious questions. The religiously inflected critical inquiry of writers such as Geoffrey Hartman, Luce Irigaray, J. Hillis Miller, Terry Eagleton, and John Schad has developed this tradition.” The Blackwell Companion to the Bible in English Literature
