Samuel Beckett's engagement with the idea of God is a complex one. In this book, Mary Bryden draws from the evidence of Beckett's published novels, plays, poetry, and short prose, as well as unpublished and draft manuscript material, to explore both rehearsals and rejections of belief. Areas for focus include Old Testament resonances, New Testament images (such as crucifixion), theology, mysticism, the church, and the arguably surprising attachment of Beckett to certain writers who espoused strong Christian beliefs.
