Truth, Justice, and the Way - Episode 8: From Parasocial to Personal: Mister Rogers, Superman, and The Accessorized Bible with guest David Dault

Truth, Justice, and the Way - Episode 8: From Parasocial to Personal: Mister Rogers, Superman, and The Accessorized Bible with guest David DaultHello, friends, this one is a fun episode for me because it’s a crossover between all three of my shows: Voices in My Head (through Rick Lee James Podcast), Welcome to the Neighborhood: A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast, and Truth, Justice, and the Way: Superman and Spirituality Podcast.If you listen to any of those, you already know my guest: David Dault. David and I have had ongoing conversations for a long time now about faith, culture, and the stories that shape us, and today we are centering that conversation around his excellent new book, The Accessorized Bible.We talk about how Scripture gets “accessorized” by our assumptions and our agendas, how interpretation has material consequences, and why reading responsibly means paying attention to the lives of the people most affected by our theology. And yes, because it’s us, we also get into Mister Rogers, Superman, and parasocial relationships.I’m glad you’re here. Let’s get into it.Get the book: https://a.co/d/012m4SffListeners are encouraged to write in with thoughts, stories, or reflections through Substack, email ([email protected]), or Twitter (SupermanAlways aka @RickLeeJames4).
