The following is a partial list of twentieth-century poets who write in some way about their Christian faith.  For some, this is an explicit project that openly explores matters of theology and experience.   This includes a variety of denominations -- Catholic (Annie Dillard, Denise Levertov, David Craig), Orthodox (Scott Cairns, Anna Akhmatova), mainline Protestant (Mark Jarman), Calvinist (Lionel Basney), and evangelical (Luci Shaw, Calvin Miller). For some, this faith could only be called syncretistic--mixing Christianity with Zen (Ed Zahniser, Charles Wright) or Native American spirituality (Louise Erdrich). For others, this faith is more implicit and only eluded to.  For some, such as Wendell Berry, Julia Kasdorf, or Fred Chappell, it is unclear where they presently stand in relationship to the traditional Christian faith.  Others have a clear church affiliation but only speak of their faith on occasion, such as Donald Davie.
