Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., September 1997. Paper Back. Very Good. The relationship between art and faith has always been complex and full of questions. It has never been easy for human creators in any field to find full expression of their imagination, impulses and vision in a way that conveys faithfully their convictions of grace and redemption to both the Church and the world. So rigidly scrutinized from all corners, Christian writers seem to continually fall into the cracks - if they tell our stories and secrets too bluntly, the Church and her people often harshly condemn them, wishing they would just write the End of the Story. From the other side, the literary and publishing communities shout ''propaganda!'' at the slightest mention of God in life, or positive representations of Christianity in their work. Committed to every level of truth - both the daily grinding truth of our lives as we live them, and the deep truth of God's stories engineering history, the writer's path is full of tough choices and hard knocks. How do they deal with this reality, and what do they do? Here are twelve insightful interviews on those queries. English professor W. Dale Brown presents these impressive conversations with contemporary American writers of faith, including Garrison Keillor, Frederick Buechner, Will Campbell, Doris Betts, Jon Hassler, Walter Wangerin, Denise Giardina, Robert Olen Butler and others to provide us with insight and understanding into the difficulties of the writing life and faith. Good to VG, corners bumped, contents crisp and clean., Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 3<

England: Penguin Classics. Wear to cover. Browning to edges of pages through age. Few would dispute the claim of War and Peace to be regarded as the greatest novel in any language. This massive chronicle, to which Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) devoted five whole years shortly after his marriage, portrays Russian family life during and after the Napoleonic War. Tolstoy's faith in life and his piercing insight lend universality to a work which hold the mirror up to Nature as truly as that of Shakespeare or Homer. The first volume of Rosemary Edmonds's modern translation takes the story as far as the appearance of the celebrated comet before Napoleon's crossing of the Nieman. The cover shows Alan Dobie as Andrei in the television version of War and Peace.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . Good. Soft cover. Reprint. 1957., Penguin Classics, 1957, 2.5, Wm. B. Eerdmans-Lightning Source. Used - Very Good. Very Good condition. A copy that may have a few cosmetic defects.
