The non-fiction new shelves at Lovett Memorial have a few interesting looking titles, particularly in the two-hundred range. The 200s in Dewey Decimal correspond with religious materials — all manner of religious materials!

One such title is “The Artist and the Trinity” by Christine M. Fletcher which centers upon ideas espoused by Dorothy L. Sayers. Sayers, according to Wikipedia, was an English novelist and a Christian. She evidently was one of the first women to obtain her advanced degree from Oxford. This blogger must admit to having heard of Sayers but to not really being fully aware of who she was. This title is listed on Christianbooks.com, but, unfortunately, has not been rated.

Another title in this area of new non-fiction is “If I Had Lunch with C.S. Lewis” by Alister McGrath. This title has, so far, earned a 5-star rating at Christianbooks.com. Evidently, McGrath catalogs an imaginary conversation with Lewis in the book which examines some knotty questions through the mock exchange.

“God in Proof: The Story of a Search from the Ancients to the Internet” by Nathan Schneider is not listed at Christianbooks.com. According to the book blurb, this author explores both sides of the belief divide. What side Schneider actually comes down on is not clear.
