Voices besides the still and small …

… Everything That Rises — Nothing Less Than Phenomenal. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

  That so few of the contemporary American novels with a religious dimension deal with the stuff right at the center of religion, and the cultural conversation about religion – matters of assent or dissent, of truth and falsehood, of calls heard and lives saved or lost – seems to me striking; and it seems to me awfully  narrow, not worthy of the long tradition we share, for Greg or anybody else to suggest that our postmodern time is different from the past and that in our time only the “still, small voice” can register authentically.
If you practice your faith, your faith will inform your work, and find its own voice.
