In this episode we talk about Shakespeare’s Macbeth using Leland Ryken’s helpful guide. We discuss the importance of the classics, practical tips for how to face the challenge of reading Shakespeare, Shakespeare’s faith, and why we think it’s worth it to read a tragedy like Macbeth. We cover the resounding Christian themes in the play, especially the destructive and escalating nature of sin, guilt and repentance, the disorder of the Macbeth marriage, and the human desire for a virtuous king.

He wrote a massive book called What About Evil? which wrestles with some weighty subjects.
So what does this have to do with story and Christian film? Plenty, it turns out.
What is so fascinating about Scotts book is that he isn’t just trying to find answers to difficult questions through academic tools, exegesis, word studies, and the like, the core component to how he seeks to answer the problem of...

One of the oft-employed forms of speech used by God and his people is satire. This form of speech is necessary in the face of pride, vice, and folly, and should be employed by Christians in a manner consistent with Scripture. As Leland Ryken writes,"... tone (the writer’s attitude toward the material) is crucial in satire.

Give and TakeEpisode 143: Reading Well: Finding the Good Life through Great Books, with Karen Swallow PriorMy guest is Karen Swallow Prior. Her newest book is Reading Well: Finding the Good Life through Great Books. Reading great literature well has the power to cultivate virtue. Great literature increases knowledge of and desire for the good life by showing readers what virtue looks like and where vice leads. It is not just what one reads but how one reads that cultivates virtue. Reading good literature well requires one to practice numerous virtues, such as patience, diligence, and prudence. And learning to judge wisely a character in a book, in turn, forms the reader's own character.
