"Because in our weakness we have strayed, God taking on our flesh in Christ, with his heart of love, 'came to seek and to save what was lost', went to the Cross and was raised, redeeming us ... for now and always." Thus concludes one of this series of essays, through which Christian literary scholar Dr Gordon Leah invites us to examine our own faith through the vehicle of literature. His meditative insights will have his readers exploring even further a variety of works by such diverse writers and thinkers as, for example, Kenneth Grahame, W.G. Sebald, Franz Kafka, Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Elie Wiesel, Graham Greene, Peter Hobbs, Thomas Hardy, Cormac McCarthy, Marilynne Robinson, Georges Bernanos and Evelyn Waugh. Edited by John Baildam
