"Image, a literary and arts quarterly founded in 1989, is a unique forum for the best writing and artwork that are informed by - or grapple with - religious faith.

Instead, our focus has been on writing and visual artwork that embody a spiritual struggle, that seek to strike a balance between tradition and a profound openness to the world.
