9. Mysterion Anthology

Subtitle: Rediscovering the Mysteries of the Christian Faith

Donald Crankshaw and Krisin Janz, ed. (298 pp)

This is an anthology that one of my Clarion West classmates edited with her husband. The theme is speculative fiction that engages meaningfully with the Christian faith. I was not sure what to expect and these stories were a great surprise. There was no typical story and this isn't going to be very instructive because I don't have time to go back and call out all the ones that I particularly liked. One that stuck with me was about an anchorite -- someone who is bricked into a cell and devotes their life to religious study. I recommend to people who enjoy Christian themed fiction OR people who enjoy reading a wide variety of stories.
