On Reading Fiction

About this sermon

Fiction has played a significant role in my life since I was young. Reading fiction is not a means to an end, but rather a way to cultivate the imagination, especially for Christians who are engaging the Scriptures. Fiction presents itself to its listeners the same way that many of the Scriptures do: as stories that ultimately teach us to listen to our lives. In this episode, I talk about books that have influenced me, the value of reading fiction, and several methods of approaching literature in a meaningful way.
