Literary characters often seek relationship with the God of the Bible. They feel detached from affairs in the material world. Pilgrims sense a call from God to pursue him in spite of the unbelief surrounding the characters.
Essays will be considered from a variety of authors. Topics should pursue the intersection of faith and literature. Creative writing presentations are welcome.
Undergraduate Research essays are invited; the Thursday evening session is devoted to them.

Please submit completed essays to Rich Gray (rgray@montreat.edu)
