Heroic Face of Innocence: Three Stories: v. 10 (Ressourcement: Retrieval & Renewal in Catholic Thought S.)

Georges Bernanos was the author of the modern literary and religious classic, Diary of a Country Priest, in which he explored the Christian mystery of redemption through love. According to Hans Urs von Balthasar, Bernanos is a key figure for our times in the relationship between theology and literature.

In this selection of Bernanos' most significant works - Joan: Heretic and Saint, Sermon of an Agnostic on the Feast of St Thérèse, and Dialogues of the Carmelites - we find theological and psychological insight interwoven with a profound sense of historical drama: a masterly exploration of heroic innocence in a group of extraordinary Christian women.

(1888-1948), a Catholic novelist and outspoken social critic, was one of the greatest literary and religious figures of twentieth-century France.
