I am writing a novel that deals with the Christian faith. It's not going to be a book that would be sold in Christian stores, it has many elements of satire.
I'd like to read other good works that deal specifically with the Christian faith, for inspiration,
Just to put it out there
I've already read the Divine Comedy
Paradise Lost
The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain (best of the three, in my opinion
>>9212613
The End of an Affair by Graham Greene
The Master of Hestviken by Sigrid Undset
Barrabas by Per Lagervist
The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene
Silence by Shuskau Endo
Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather
laurus by eugene vodolazkin
Master and Margarita by Bulgakov
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
Les Miserables by Hugo
I personally am not a fan of Flannery OConnor, but others here love him. Disregard Wolfe posters. Consider Hillaire Belloc

Read the Russians
>catholic as a child
>read lots of philosophy and religious works
>reject catholicism because i dont believe in transubstantiation, papal infallibility, or the ability of a corrupt clergy to interceded in sin
>dismiss salvation by faith and grace out of hand, letter of st james makes obvious the need for works of charity and righteousness
>try ecumenical unitarian christian church, enjoy that I can believe what I want, but feel that it does not offer me a road to redemption or a way to wash the stain of sin from my soul
Probably gonna join salvation army next. I am having a crisis of faith.
