9: Jessica Hooten Wilson: Reading for the Love of God, Fiction for the Sake of Truth

Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson has published several books (most of which are *about* books) including The Scandal of Holiness—winner of Christianity Today's 2022 Book Awards Award of Merit—and the forthcoming Reading for the Love of God, out in March of 2023. On today's episode, our conversation sits at the intersection of literature and theology. Can literature help us in the pursuit of holiness? Does it increase our empathy and humility and can it help make us more present in God's world and the people around us? Jessica says yes. Listen in to hear how.
