This comprehensive volume presents a captivating exploration of the profound significance of wonder in our lives, particularly through the lens of literature, philosophy, and theology. From the ancient Greek civilizations to the present day, these disciplines have been captivated by the concept of wonder, yet the intricate connections between their respective perspectives often go unnoticed in specialized studies.

The book is structured into three distinct parts, each offering a unique perspective on wonder. Part I delves into the philosophical realm, exploring the philosophical foundations of wonder and its role in shaping our understanding of the world. Part II focuses on theology, examining how wonder intersects with religious beliefs and practices. Part III, on the other hand, presents literary perspectives, showcasing how wonder has been expressed and interpreted through various forms of literature.

To enrich the study, an international team of contributors, comprising both poets and scholars, has collaborated to produce a groundbreaking exploration that transcends traditional chronological, geographical, and disciplinary boundaries. Within the individual essays and across the entire volume, there is a rich interplay of ideas, fostering a holistic understanding of wonder.

Furthermore, the book is punctuated by four captivating poems by contemporary poets, who offer fresh and poetic interpretations of the theme of wonder. These poems provide a poignant and visually stunning complement to the scholarly discourse, adding a new dimension to our understanding of this enduring concept.

This book is a groundbreaking endeavor that appeals to scholars of literature, theology, and philosophy alike. It offers a fresh and interdisciplinary approach to one of the most celebrated themes in European tradition, providing valuable insights and perspectives that will deepen our appreciation of the world and our place within it.
