Flannery O'Connor is what you're after.
Read the short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find."

No.3505
>>2961This, anything written by Dotoyevsky is a pretty good place to start.
Also "the Brothers Karamazov" would be a good choice I think.
Anna Karenina also gets quite religious in the last part.
No.3512
>>3333I'd say pretty much anything southern gothic would be satisfying.
No.4378
Later Philip K Dick stuff is full of weird chrisitan themes. Maybe more Gnostic than christian though.
Try Valis, Transmigration of Timothy Archer, Three stigmata of palmer eldritch. That last one is really difficult though.

His Dark Materials :^)
No.4517
The Silmarillion is basically the Old Testament but for elves. And like all of Tolkein Christian morality and theology underpin the created world, though rarely explicitly.
No.4523
>Crime and Punishment
or pretty much any of the short stories by Dostoyevsky
No.4614
>>1943The Man Who Was Thursday by GK Chesterton. Brilliant writer.
No.4615
>>4493Why the face? I read those books when I was younger but all I remember is a teleportation knife and some place full of dead people.
No.4630
>>4615God is Space Hitler. It was written as an answer to the Narnia books.
No.4655
I typically haven't found Narnia to be retardedly blatant. Maybe in a few places but not enough to undermine that they're still some bretty cool fantasy novels.
No.4673

And the ass saw the Angel by Nick Cave.
I think this is a great book, and I've been looking for things written in a similar style ever since.
Don't read his second book, it's completely different and honestly not that good.

what a blasphemous cover, particularly because i assume the title is a reference to balaam's ass.
No.6309
Shusaku Endo's "Silence" and T.S. Eliot's "Four Quartets", although Silence is explicitly a religious novel it does it very well. Four Quartets has religious undertones and is without a doubt one of the best collections of poems I've ever read.
