Literary Converts
By Joseph Pearce
Ignatius (Now available in softcover only)
List Price: $19.95
Member's Price: $15.95

The twentieth century has been marked both by belief and unbelief. While church attendance has declined, the lives of many of the most alsient figures of our times have been influenced and inspired by Christianity.

Literary Converts is a biographical exploration into the spiritual lives of some of the greatest writers in the Engliish language: Oscar Wilde, Evelyn Waugh, C.S. Lewis, Malcolm Muggeridge, Graham Greene, Edith Sitwell, Siegfried Sassoon, Hilaire Belloc, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy Sayers, T.S. Eliot, J.R.R. Tolkien and more. THe role of George Bernard SHaw and H.G. Wells in intensifying the religious debate despite not being converts themselves is also considered.

Many will be intriguedto know more about what inspired their literary heroes; others will find the assaciation of such names with Christian belief surprising or even controversial. Whatever viewpoint we may have, Literary Converts touches on some of the most important questinos of the twentieth century, making it a fascinating read.
