Book Summary
The Language of Grace explores a major problem of religious fiction today: how can writers portray the transforming action of God in our lives for readers who no longer have a powerful sense of the divine and have lost touch with traditional religious symbols that help us understand the experience of God? Turning to three very different twentieth century novelists, Flannery O'Connor and Walker Percy as Roman Catholics, and Iris Murdoch as a philospher working outside organized religion, the author shows their diverse attempts to portray the reality of grace across the chasm of unbelief.
