Such a beautiful anthology. My favorite book maybe ever- I revisit it often. The introduction is my favorite. The anthology is filled with high-thinking authors (L'Engle, Dostoevsky, O'Connor etc). Love it.

Nice selection of works showing, oddly enough, the various authors' feelings of faith. Hawthorne and O'Connor are favorites of mine. This is more a college text than a straight-through reading project, although the straight-through process might be interesting if done in chronological order in an attempt to look at how faith expressions have changed over the years.
