Description Lilith, first published in 1895, tells the story of Mr. Vane, the owner of a library that seems to be haunted by a raven—the ghost of the library’s former owner.

George MacDonald was a Scottish writer who was also a Christian minister. While his writing career focused mostly on fantasy works, he also wrote several theological works, including Unspoken Sermons, which was published in three volumes from 1867–1889.

In it, MacDonald lays out his vision of God. In his view, God is fundamentally a loving father to all humanity, working to purify people from their sin so that they are as good as God himself. A consequence of this is that all people will eventually be saved—which was a controversial teaching in the churches where he preached, making him unpopular with church leaders.
