Undeceptions with John Dickson

168. Virtue / Vice


Listen Later

Special thanks to Undeceptions Season 16 major sponsor Zondervan Academic.


In pop culture, we often enjoy watching - or reading - vice and virtue play out, with the former often far more exciting than the latter.

But what about real life? Do we still find vice “sizzling” (as one writer described it), and virtue stale?

At the heart of this lies a much deeper question: What good is there in pursuing the good?
