Authors featured include: • writers from the classical Christian tradition, from Origen to Rowan Williams • many literary greats, including Dante, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Emily Bronte, T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf and Oscar Wilde • recent and contemporary poets: U. A. Fanthorpe, Seamus Heaney, Mary Oliver, Wendell Berry and Malcolm Guite • modern novelists and writers: P D James, Annie Dillard, Maya Angelou, Stephen King and Marilynne Robinson • filmmakers and screenwriters: Martin Scorcese, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg • songwriters and musicians: Leonard Cohen, U2, Led Zeppelin and Lady Gaga • paintings from leading artists that illuminate biblical events and encounters.
