Since its founding in 1989, Image journal has become a leading quarterly, known for its unique focus on contemporary art and literature that explores the enduring questions of religious faith. Bearing the Mystery collects the best works from the journal's first twenty years, featuring nearly seventy writers and over twenty visual artists, with some showcased in sixteen color plates. The anthology includes short stories that range from unsettling encounters with the miraculous to gritty realism, lyric poems that reinterpret the Psalms while delving into doubt and faith, and candid memoirs that seek glimpses of grace amid life's challenges and joys. Notable contributors include Scott Cairns, Annie Dillard, Clyde Edgerton, Patricia Hampl, Ron Hansen, Edward Hirsch, Linda Hogan, Denise Levertov, Philip Levine, Marilyn Nelson, Kathleen Norris, Gregory Orr, Ann Patchett, David Plante, Richard Rodriguez, Wim Wenders, Christian Wiman, and Franz Wright. With a special introduction by founder and editor Gregory Wolfe reflecting on the journal's mission, this collection serves as a treasure trove of provocative, haunting, and invigorating works. It demonstrates that the ancient practice of creating art to capture humanity's encounters with the divine remains vibrant, even in a postmodern context.
