About Truth or Literature
From the publisher's feed
The study of common literature is often about selling literature, putting its author on a pedestal at the expense of serious critical thinking. Good critical thinking about literature is neither idolatrous nor iconoclastic, but instead evaluates content for it alignment with Truth.
This podcast discusses literature as it relates to the Truth of Christianity. Its companion blog at TruthorLiterature.blogspot.com is a transcript and list of references for this podcast.
