Jessica Hooten Wilson is Louise Cowan Scholar in Residence at the University of Dallas. She is the author of several books, including Giving the Devil his Due: Flannery O’Connor and The Brothers Karamazov, which received a 2018 Christianity Today book of the year in arts and culture award.
She writes on the great books and literature, including O’Connor, Doestovesky, and Walker Percy.
She has a new book out entitled, The Scandal of Holiness: Renewing Your imagination In the Company of Literary Saints. She joins me to talk about the new book and how literature can shape a believer's pursuit of holiness even when it is a scandal and trips us up.
