Literary culture has long been antagonistic to faith. For writers who have faith commitments of one degree or another, they often wonder how to reconcile the two worlds to which they are committed.
In this engaging volume, twenty-one writers examine the often perilous intersections of literature and belief. They use approaches that are as diverse as their biographies, from Barbara Brown Taylor�?Ts calling to behold, to David James Duncan�?Ts exploration of the wreckage in the grass around this particular intersection.
The volume also contributions from Doris Betts, Frederick Buechner, Will Campbell, Betty Smartt Carter, Elizabeth Dewberry, David James Duncan, Ron Hansen, Silas House, Jan Karon, Joy Kogawa, Anne Lamott, Madeline L�?TEngle, Brett Lott, Thomas Lynch, Kathleen Norris Katherine Paterson, James Schaap, Paul Schrader, Luci Shaw, Barbara Brown Taylor, Walter Wangerin Jr.
Taken together, this wonderful collection will encourage and inspire anyone seeking to work out the connection between faith-full writing and writing faithfully.
