THE SCANDAL OF HOLINESS Renewing Your Imagination in the Company of Literary Saints Jessica Hooten Wilson Foreword by Lauren F. Winner

An award-winning author shows that reading works of great literature can help us cultivate an imagination that moves us toward holiness.

“This book will spur you to read more and will show you how to do it. It illustrates how good literature can stir the imagination and how the imagination can stir us toward holiness.” —RUSSELL MOORE, Christianity Today “Wilson guides the reader through an impressive array of diverse literary artists, connecting their works to the universal call to all Christians to become saints. Her defense of the centrality of imagina- tion in the moral and spiritual life is both convincing and inspiring.” —JENNIFER A. FREY, University of South Carolina

Jessica Hooten Wilson (PhD, Baylor University) is the Louise Cowan Scholar in Residence at the University of Dallas.

READING BLACK BOOKS How African American Literature Can Make Our Faith More Whole and Just Claude Atcho Pastor and teacher Claude Atcho demonstrates how Black experience, as shown in the literature of great African American writers, can guide us to- ward sharper theological thinking and more faithful living. “No one knows better or shows better than Atcho how twentieth- century African American literature is equipment for a better, truer orthodoxy. Reading Black Books offers brilliant and accessible theological readings of this literature that function—and feel—like the pastoral care we desperately need.” —TIFFANY EBERLE KRINER, Wheaton College
