Dorothy L Sayers' great lay contemporaries in the Church of England were T. S. Eliot, C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams, but none of them wrote a book quite like The Mind of the Maker. In this crisp, elegant exercise in theology, Sayers illuminates the doctrine of the Trinity by relating it to the process of writing fiction, a process about which she could speak with complete authority. She illustrates her thesis with many examples drawn from her own books, and even illuminates the Christian heresies by analysing certain failures of creation which regularly occur in literature. This marvellous classic describes the creative process in terms of the arts and shows that literature can cast light on theology and vice versa.

This is the deepest and most insightful thinking on man's ability to create, particularly in literature and the arts that I have ever seen.

Dorothy Sayers extrapolates from the process and art of creation that she knows so well from her own writing to give us insight into the Mind of the Maker, God. Becaue we are made in HIs image, we can know some things about our Lord by understanding the creative process in ourselves. I could hardly put this book down.
