Dorothy L Sayers: creative mind and the holy trinity
No full textHuman beings have no language with which to speak about God and their experiences of God except that language which they also use of themselves and of their experiences of each other. The doctrine of the Trinity points to the presence and action of God in the world through Jesus Christ. The search for human analogies with the doctrine of the Trinity has occupied the minds and hearts of theologians and philosophers since earliest Christian times. Many of the attempts made to provide a paradigm by which the Holy Trinity might best be articulated in human thinking have fallen short of the ideals at which they aimed. As a result, there is a paucity of material from which the teacher of theology may draw in explicating this apparently most complicated of doctrines. While the search was confined to the field of pure theology, it seemed fruitless. Dorothy L Sayers, a writer of detective novels, engaged in that search almost by accident as she moved from detective fiction to religious drama in the second phase of her writing career. By using her own experience of creative activity, she saw a striking resemblance between the creative activity of God and that of God's creatures. That this activity possessed a threefold structure allowed Sayers to discern a human analogy with the doctrine of the Trinity which would serve where others had failed. Her thinking was set out in her book The Mind of the Maker in 1941. However, her achievement in this volume has largely been ignored. It is time for a re-appraisal of that achievement in order both to re-present it to those engaged in theological deliberations now and to investigate how it was received in its own day and why it may have been overlooked hitherto

Dorothy L. Sayers and the Wages of Cinema - Crystal Downing
Biographers have long assessed Sayers’s concern with the wages of sin. None, however, discuss how wages from cinema shaped her response to sin. This lecture, based on archival research at the Marion E. Wade Center in Wheaton, Illinois, offers a whole new way to think about the montage of Sayers’s life. Employing images from the history of both Sayers and cinema, it demonstrates how moving images moved Sayers, transforming her from detective fiction author to one of the most important influences on the spiritual life of C. S. Lewis

Books, Theology, and Hens: the Correspondence and Friendship of C. S. Lewis and Dorothy L. Sayers
No full textThat Lewis and Sayers had much in common and that their lives intersected in a number of interesting ways throughout their careers is common knowledge for even the casual follower of either author. What does not seem to have been appreciated or explained sufficiently in the scholarship to date is the nature of the friendship between these two influential Christian authors. Therefore, it is this friendship we wish to shed light on, using as our primary source the correspondence between Lewis and Sayers from 1942-1957. In addition, we look at what the biographers of each author have to say about their relationship

Paper Session 2-B: Sayers and Friends
No full textDorothy Sayers and C. S. Lewis: A Friendship based on Literature and Theology - Gary L. Tandy
We propose a paper exploring the friendship of Dorothy Sayers and C. S. Lewis. By examining the correspondence of these two Christian authors and by researching biographies, we intend to describe the nature of their friendship. Reviewing the letters chronologically will allow us to understand how their friendship developed and deepened over time. Considering the topics and themes most commonly addressed in the letters will provide insights into the common interests that brought them together as well as those topics on which they disagreed and debated (e.g. why Christians write and the controversy over the female priesthood in the Anglican church), for, as Lewis noted in The Four Loves, friendship has to be about something. In our initial review of the letters, we have been able to see signs of a developing friendship. For example, we can trace the closeness of the friendship through the salutations (from Mr. and Dr. Lewis to Jack, for Sayers), and we note Lewis\u27s invitations for Sayers to have lunch with him when she visits Oxford.
Dorothy L. Sayers and the Mutual Admiration Society: Friendship and Creative Writing in an Oxford Women\u27s Literary Group - Barbara M. Prescott
During her first term at Oxford, in 1912, Dorothy L. Sayers along with a friend, Amphyllis (Amphy) Middlemore, started a women\u27s first-year student literary group which Dorothy named the Mutual Admiration Society for, ...if we didn\u27t, the rest of College would. The mission of the society was to encourage one another\u27s creative writing, and several of the women in the M.A.S. retained life-long friendships. One perspective may be to view this Oxford women\u27s literary group, headed by Sayers, as an earlier but similar society to the later and more famous Inklings. The purpose of this paper is to take a closer look at the three years of the M.A.S., the student members, their friendships, their literary work, and their influence upon the writing and life of Dorothy L. Sayers. During the years 1912-1915, the society provided a safe environment for its women student members to share and encourage literary writing and offered the opportunity for these women to bond in friendship. The original letters, notebooks, and manuscripts of Dorothy L. Sayers which are housed at the Marion Wade Center in Wheaton, IL reference Sayers\u27 M.A.S experience and provide the basis for my own research into her Oxford student years.
Becoming More Human: Dorothy Sayers on Work - Kimberly Moore-Jumonville
What can save us from the soul-deadening life promised by current ideals of career success? Dorothy Sayers posits a gospel of work grounded in God\u27s nature itself. God is essentially creative: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). In other words, we must create or become less than human. Sayers describes work in its creative vitality as the outward and visible sign of a creative reality. Such sacramental language should encourage us in regarding our work as a sacramental act. In her essay Vocation in Work she goes so far as to assign our work a redemptive measure, as it is the creative activity that can redeem the world (90-91). Analyzing Sayers\u27s views of work in Gaudy Night, Vocation in Work, Why Work, The Zeal of Thy House, The Mind of the Maker and her letters will reveal that finding our vocation brings us to full creative vitality; it gives our soul life, it fulfills God\u27s intention for our gifts and in some way forwards God\u27s kingdom on earth (and makes us friends)
