Thanks for posting this. (I have no idea if this is your blog, and frankly don’t care.) I think we always run into difficulty when we use the word “Christian” as an adjective. Christian writer. Christian movie. Christian literature. Christian environment. That language both raises and lowers expectations and seldom provides any kind of accurate or valuable additional information.

Perhaps your solution—endeavoring to create a masterful work of art—is best. That puts the Christian writer on the same ground as the non-Christian writer committed to the same ideal, making a real dialog more possible.

For a great discussion of Walker Percy and some insight into what it means to be a “Christian” writer, here is a long (but worth it if you can take the time) Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz7RKYhsAM4
