This and every Monday, the Bweinh!tributors, having convened in secret for hours of reasoned debate and consideration, will issue a brief and binding ruling on an issue of great societal import.
This week’s question — Who is the best author of all time?
Djere delivers the opinion of the Council, joined by Connie, Steve, Josh, and MC-B:
C.S. Lewis — his worlds and interests are many, vast, and diverse. His plots and characters are convincing. His fiction engaging, his nonfiction convicting.
Tom concurs, joined by David, and MC-B:
C.S. Lewis — an engaging yet convicting body of work with individual pieces suitable to any level of sophistication.
Mike dissents, joined by Erin:
Henri Nouwen. Such amazing insights and such a humble spirit.
Job dissents:
James Michener. A man totally devoted to the task, he never spent a day without traveling, learning about and then writing about this globe.
Chloe dissents:
T.S. Eliot. His intricate and masterful poetry presents new layers of powerful imagery and cultural truth with each and every reading.
Erin dissents:
Frank Herbert. Amazing, creative, poetic, intuitive.
Kaitlin played no part in the determination of this issue.
Next time: What is the most overrated band?
