MAITLAND, FL—Jock N. Chandler’s new book, A Christian’s Companion to Shakespeare’s Tragedies ($13.99,
paperback, 9781498481380; $6.99,
eBook, 9781498481397) shares with
readers that William Shakespeare shares Biblical insights through his
characters words and actions. The reader should get a different perspective of
the characters where they contend with their spiritual lives and what happens
to them after death. Many books deal with the characters, the language of
Shakespeare, and the character motivations. This book gleans the subtext of the
spiritual conflicts within the characters.
Chandler says, “A Christian’s Companion to Shakespeare’s
Tragedies offers a unique perspective when reading Shakespeare, a Biblical perspective
that can bring Shakespeare closer to our personal hopes and fears and places
the reader in a sympathetic role with the characters.”
Seems unusual to find
biblical references within the pages of poet William Shakespeare’s famous
tragedies, but that is exactly what author Jock Chandler found when he viewed
the plays through the lens of a Christian mindset. Chandler does not consider
himself to be a Shakespearean expert, but he is able to discern the spiritual
issues and references expressed through Shakespeare’s characters.
