Karen Swallow Prior: Why Christians Should Read Old Books - EP 105

Why should Christians read books — yes, even the old ones? Dr. Karen Swallow Prior joins us to answer this question. She also shares how she came to love books, how reading can help us cultivate virtues, and why fiction is important. She also answers a series of rapid fire questions on her favorite books. (The conversation begins at 11:00) Also, what should you make of the recent scare of bank closures? In “Headlines” (1:20), Dr. David W. Jones joins us to offer perspective on the issue. And in “On My Bookshelf” (37:40), Dr. Keathley recommends two of his favorite old books. Visit our website: https://cfc.sebts.edu/ Support the work of the Center: https://cfc.sebts.edu/about/give/
