“A serious way of wondering”; that’s how the novelist Reynolds Price described the imaginative telling of stories built on the often spare details of the gospel accounts. While not claiming for them the stature of gospel, such stories do have the potential to offer fresh insight, and to help us to contend with the biblical accounts in new ways. Jamie Howison's original stories are not nearly so speculative as those of Reynolds Price, but they are offered in that same spirit of an open and serious wondering.
