Dorothy Sayers (1893-1957) was a renowned English crime writer, poet, playwright, essayist, translator and Christian humanist.
She was one of the first women to attend Oxford University. Keller:
Many fans of Dorothy Sayers's detective stories and mystery novels point out that Sayers was onf ot eh first women to attend Oxford University. The main character in her stories - Lord Peter Wimsey - is an aristocratic sleuth and a single man. At one point in the novles, though, a new character appears, Harriet Vane. Harriet Vane is described as one of the first women who graduated from Oxford - and as a writer of mystery novels. Eventually she and Peter fall in love and marry. Who was she? Many believe Sayers looked into the world she had created, fell in love with her lonely hero, and wrote herself into the story to save him. Very touching! But that is not nearly as moving or amazing as the reality of the incarnation. God, as it were, looked into the world he had made and saw our lostness and had pity on his people. And so he wrote himself into human history as its main character. The second person in the Trinity, the Son of God, came into the world as a man, Jesus Christ.
