Not all critics are interested in the Christian dimension found in Shakespeare. It is one thing to be disinterested, but it is another to dismiss that Christian dimension – to deftly sidestep it or to condense and displace it. Oser provides a formidable rejoinder to the secularizing impulse that currently enjoys such firm footing in Shakespeare scholarship. He makes a compelling case that Shakespeare wrote “from a Christian perspective” and with a rich theological imagination (9).
