Faith Rising—Between the Lines

Arts & Literature

“St. Augustine wrote, ‘You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.’ David Bowman discusses ten modern writers whose characters display such restless hearts. This is a book concerned with the intersection of literature, philosophy, and theology. . . . It is a humane book, in that it presents people in all their humanity. It is by an author steeped in the Christian tradition, but anyone open to the possibility of spiritual experience will find it rewarding. It is a kind of book too little seen these days: a contribution to the conversation about the meaning of human existence.”
