Acton Line

Award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson has written an exciting new book—“The Scandal of Holiness: Renewing Your Imagination in the Company of Literary Saints”—on how we’re called to live beyond a merely mundane existence of settling for small goals. In fact, we’re called to live a life of holiness. Wilson instructs us on how hearing the call to holiness requires cultivating a new imagination—one rooted in the art and discipline of reading. Reading with eyes attuned to the saints who populate great works of literature enables us to see how God opens up ways of holy living.    Sarah Negri, Acton’s research project coordinator, sits down with Wilson to discuss how literature has the power to show us what a truly holy life looks like.    Subscribe to our podcasts   The Scandal of Holiness: Renewing Your Imagination in the Company of Literary Saints   About Jessica Hooten Wilson    Jessica Hooten Wilson on Solzhenitsyn Against Propaganda | Acton Institute YouTube Channel  Hosted on Acast.
