Divinely Detailed

All Things Are Full of Gods by David Bentley Hart

“Little worshipped and forgotten, the gods have left the world. They now spend their days drinking ambrosia and reclining on benches, filling their time with conversations about the affairs of mankind. Here we find Psyche, Eros, Hermes, and Hephaistos. Psyche has plucked a rose, and this stirs her thoughts. A simple enough act, and yet, ‘I find myself fascinated,’ she reflects, ‘by the conclusions one might draw from it.’”

So begins All Things Are Full of Gods, David Bentley Hart’s latest, copious book.
