EN425 Christianity and Contemporary Fiction
Prerequisites: EN 211, EN 212
Major American and British fiction writers from World War II to the present day whose work is significantly informed by and concerned with questions of Christian belief. Committed Catholic writers such as Flannery O’Connor, Walker Percy, Graham Greene, and Muriel Spark will be considered, along with professing Protestants such as Wendell Berry, Marilynne Robinson, and John Updike. Non-Anglophone Christian writers such as Shusaku Endo, Jewish writers such as Saul Bellow, and seemingly "lapsed" yet arguably theistic writers such as Cormac McCarthy may also receive some attention.
