CD 23 - Literary Saints With Jessica Hooten Wilson

Jessica Hooten Wilson is author of the new book The Scandal of Holiness: Renewing Your Imagination in the Company of Literary Saints from Brazos Press. Jessica is a professor at the University of Dallas and has written previously on Walker Percy and Fydor Dostoevesky. She currently is preparing a manuscript on Flannery O’Connor.

 

Jessica and I discuss facing the reality of our own limitations, finding literary saints as exemplars, Flannery O’Connor, C.S. Lewis, and the influence of G.K. Chesterton on Sigrid Undset.
