Her justly renowned works include detective fiction featuring Lord Peter Wimsey, theological reflections, literary criticism, and her translation of Dante's \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the prominent themes of her work was the need for and challenges of developing community. Sayers, who was herself an active member of various writing groups throughout her lifetime, offers her readers visions of both fractured and harmonious communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this Hansen Lectureship volume, Christine Col explores the role of community in Sayers's works. In particular, she considers how Sayers offers a vision of communities called to action, faith, and joy, and she reflects on how we also are called to live in community together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the annual lecture series hosted at Wheaton College's Marion E.
