A Mask of Reason

Book •
Robert Frost's 'A Mask of Reason' is a collection that includes dramatic pieces and poetic meditations, one of which reimagines the Divine speaking about Job and human theological assumptions.

Crossan cites Frost's compact dramatic imagining in which God thanks Job for freeing the divine from a certain moral routine.

Frost's work blends poetry and drama to probe philosophical and ethical themes, using his characteristic plainspoken yet layered language.

The referenced short play engages with biblical theology through a literary, ironic lens.

Frost's contribution is notable for its concise, thought-provoking treatment of religious and moral paradoxes.
