Holy Writ

Episode 2 - Beloved

Listen Later

In this episode, we discuss Toni Morrison’s *Beloved,* a novel that refuses to let the past be forgotten. Bringing it into conversation with Romans, John 6, and Lamentations 2 & 4, we explore haunting and historical memory, suffering and healing, the promiscuity of grace, and the pain of love.

**Content Note: Beloved is a novel written for a mature audience, and our discussion reflects that.
