Books take center stage in this issue, which features CT’s annual Book Awards, along with excerpts from a handful of books chosen as finalists in various awards categories. It also includes three pieces exploring the way books are made and the debates they inspire: a profile of the poet and priest Malcolm Guite, a report on Christian librarians navigating political and communal tensions over controversial titles, and a look at how Christian publishers are wrestling with questions of author “platform.”
