Cooper and Tanner, after a couple years of reading, have finished the epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time. In a two part series they discuss the series for which they have a whole lot of affection, examining it as a story from a Christian perspective. In this episode, they discuss the series more broadly and without spoilers, while in the next they'll look at the ending of the series and some of the philosophical ideas it presents. It's a fun time with two fantasy nerds and Christ-followers, so take a listen!

Why does our culture love bad art? Why do Christians today love bad art? How do we return to loving really good art? Author and classical educator Josh Gibbs wrote about a book this. We summarize his thesis (hint: it's the title) and discuss what important ideas and thoughts were influential for us. Enjoy!

The boys return to ND Wilson, this time for a rollicking sci-fi western. Time travel and deserts do go together! Listen to hear why this is probably Wilson’s best book, why Sam is a likable protagonist, and how good the style is.

Note: we were supposed to drop an episode on the Aeneid (our final one!) on Monday, but God’s sovereignty and technical issues prevented that! Thanks for staying patient.

The Resurrection of Christ is the grand climax to the story God has woven. How should we respond when we see it in storytelling?

A brief episode on books 5-8 of the Aeneid: down to the dead and up, the futileness of rejecting piety and fate, plus the second stage of the epic!
