VeniteAdoremus Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I like George Weigel in a "friendly uncle" kind of way, but of course there's no competition for Chesterton. And I like C.S. Lewis as well Why didn't Tolkien manage to get him across the Tiber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenchild17 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) [quote name='pat22' date='15 August 2009 - 06:25 AM' timestamp='1250339156' post='1949524'] mohammed....... oh wait..... um...... Louis De Wohl's pretty good. i just have a hard time picking up a religious book when there's a sci-fi novel laying right there. ya know what i mean? [/quote] The High Crusade by Poul Anderson is good. Very Catholic - and medieval - and fun sci-fi depending on how demanding you want to be about it. Makes for a nice short read and the Catholic elements are spot on, though I don't believe the author is Catholic.

Apotheoun Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I suppose it depends upon whether you think a parable has to be based upon a true historical incident or whether it can be a fictional tale intended to make a moral point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappo Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 holy smooookes only two people picked tolkien? I was expecting to see him all over Definitely Tolkein for fiction And of course the Angelic Doctor St. Thomas Aquinas (ora pro nobis!) for non-fiction PS: Someone chose Lewis for one of their answers, but he remained Anglican.
