The Image Journal's "Top 100 Books of the Twentieth Century"

Add to my lists | Print this list

A central part of <i>Image’s</i> mission is to showcase the wealth of contemporary writing that grapples in a serious way with religious faith. But, of course, we are also always mindful of Image’s "patron saints" (T.S. Eliot, Flannery O’Connor, Walker Percy, Georges Bernanos, Shusaku Endo, to name but a few) authors and thinkers who have inspired many of the writers who appear in our pages, and who inspire us as we put those pages together.<br /><br />
We hope that the following list offers but a glimpse of that wealth of talent this past century has seen—talent exhibited both by those who laid the groundwork for the great works now being written and by those whose compelling narratives and lyrics are helping to bring us into the twenty-first century with a renewed hope in the marriage of religion and art.
