Episode 30: Revenge

Nathan Gilmour moderates a discussion with Michial Farmer and David Grubbs about revenge, the uneasy relationship that Christians have had with revenge, and the literary and pop-culture manifestations of revenge that interest us most. We disagree about whether abstract revenge or complex, literary-realist revenge is more dangerous, but we have fun getting there. Among the texts, authors, and other artifacts we discuss are the Iliad, Genesis 4, Romans, Matthew, Beowulf (with fanfare), The Scarlet Letter, Roger's Version, Ninja Gaiden, Tenchu: Stealth Assassin, the Princess Bride, and Unforgiven.
