"Confession, Creed, and Prayer" is a collection of essays by Alan Sullivan that explore the intersections between literature, religion, and philosophy. The book examines how literary works can be seen as forms of confession, creeds, and prayers, and how these categories can inform our understanding of both literature and religious practice. Through close readings of texts by authors such as Dante, Milton, and Hopkins, Sullivan argues that literature can be a powerful means of grappling with the big questions of existence and faith. Ultimately, "Confession, Creed, and Prayer" demonstrates how literature can serve as a form of spiritual practice, helping readers to deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
