This week on “The Gloria Purvis Podcast,” Gloria speaks with Professor Jessica Hooten Wilson, the author of several books includingThe Scandal of Holiness, Reading for the Love of God, and Giving the Devil his Due: Flannery O’Connor and The Brothers Karamazov, which received a 2018 Christianity Today Book of the Year Award in Culture & the Arts.

Gloria and Jessica dive deep into the Catholic imagination—exploring writers like Toni Morrison and the medieval mystic Julian of Norwich. Jessica also believes in reclaiming the practice of reading, especially for children growing up today:

“I try to tell this to parents: It’s not really about making sure that your kid recites all the history or knows all the facts,” Jessica says. “It’s just recognizing that they’re being shaped by a worldview in which the story began before them.”
