Haddox examines the work of six avowedly Christian writers of fiction in the period from World War II to the present. This period is often characterized in western societies by such catchphrases as "postmodernism" and "secularization," with the frequent implication that orthodox belief in the dogmas of Christianity has become untenable among educated readers.
