Eliot, and Charles Williams, Sayers was a brilliant Christian thinker, an Anglo-Catholic who took doctrine seriously and bristled at the growth of 'fads, schisms, heresies, and anti-Christ' within the Church of England.īorn in Oxford, Sayers was the only child of an Anglican cleric. Perhaps best known today as the author of the best-selling detective novels featuring Lord Peter Wimsey, Sayers was also a playwright, translator of Dante, poet, theologian, and apologist.
In an age of skepticism, cynicism, and false 'freedoms,' Dorothy Sayers (1893-1957) was a passionate and occasionally scathing voice of reason.
