Sayers","description":"A MATTER OF ETERNITY Dorothy L. Sayers Edited by Rosamond Kent Sprague The late Dorothy L. Sayers, best known to the reading public as the author of a distinguished group of detective stories in which Lord Peter Wimsey plays the leading part, was equally distinguished as a writer of theology and religious drama. Her brilliant gift for analogy and her clarity of exposition will remind many of the writings of C. S. Lewis, but her robust plain speaking is distinctively her own. In A Matter of Eternity, Rosamond Kent Sprague offers a selection of quotable passages from Miss Sayers’ theological and devotional writings on a number of themes, including creation, sin, forgiveness, women, and work. Within the various sections, the excerpts range in length from one sentence to several pages; in content they represent the full range of her work. Also included is a previously unpublished poem entitled “For Timothy, in the Coinherence,” which—according to editor Sprague— will appeal to lovers of Charles Williams, of Dante, and of cats. “Dorothy L. Sayers was astounded that anything as exciting as Christian doctrine could possibly be true,\" adds Sprague; \"to read her work is to share in that excitement and astonishment.\" The selections included in A Matter of Eternity show Miss Sayers at her best — challenging, witty, stimulating, perceptive. Here is an ideal gift book of thematically arranged \"seed-thoughts,\" to be returned to again and again.
