The King James Bible is arguably the most influential book in the English language, and Bart thinks it's a literary masterpiece. He also thinks it's one of the worst Bibles you can study from. In this episode of Misquoting Jesus, Bart and host Megan Lewis trace where the KJV came from, starting with William Tyndale, whose translation it largely reuses and who was burned at the stake for making it. They look at why its unicorns and cockatrices trip up modern readers, and why the words you think you understand, like "conversation," "strange," and "admiration," are more misleading than the ones you don't. They cover the theological choices its translators made, the late Greek manuscripts behind its New Testament, and a 1631 printing that told readers "thou shalt commit adultery." Bart also shares which modern translations he recommends instead. In the listener Q&A: where the doctrine of original sin came from, whether early Christians evangelized door to door, and what Jesus meant about eunuchs in Matthew 19:12.

In this episode, we're joined by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Argentine author Hernan Diaz to discuss his new novel, Ply, which is set in a distant future, where humankind is on the verge of an evolutionary transformation.At the centre of the story is an orphan known only as a ‘Pincher', who steals electricity from the grid and sells it on the black market, helping to power underground gigs for artists across the city.The book marks a striking departure for Diaz, whose previous novel, Trust, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. In our conversation, he explains why he refuses to compromise as a writer, his inexorable pull towards 19th-century British fiction, and the circumstances that led him to write at least part of the book at the desk of the legendary Swedish director Ingmar Bergman.Hosted by Ryan Edgington.

Princess Joy L. Perry’s novel This Here is Love tells the interlocking stories of an array of characters in Tidewater Virginia.

We often say it's important for a person to be "authentic," but what does that mean? Why is that necessarily a good thing? In this episode, Jacke talks to author Hadley Suter (Becoming Stendhal: The Performance of Authenticity and the Making of a Novelist) about the French novelist Stendhal (1783-1842) and his classic realist novels The Charterhouse of Parma and The Red and the Black. Writing in the aftermath of the French Revolution, when individuals suddenly found themselves with the opportunity to become someone new, Stendhal was acutely aware of the blurred lines between performance and authencity. How did he and his characters figure out who they wanted to be - and what happened when they tried to achieve it? What can their efforts tell us about our own understanding of identity and self-actualization? PLUS Jacke provides a literary tribute to singer-songwriter, actress, celebrity, and philanthropist Dolly Parton, who passed away on August 25, 2026.

The sermon argues that biblical texts communicate meaning through larger literary structures rather than isolated verses, urging readers to appreciate the Bible as a cohesive literary masterpiece. By examining chiastic patterns in the Torah and the sevenfold attributes of the Lamb in Revelation 5, the speaker demonstrates how form conveys theological depth and aids memory. The discussion highlights the unity of the Pentateuch, where Leviticus serves as the central pivot for divine reconciliation, and analyzes the symmetrical structure of the Beatitudes to reveal righteousness as the core theme of Matthew's Gospel. This holistic approach contrasts with atomistic reading methods, emphasizing that understanding the broader narrative context enriches interpretation and application. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to seek a fuller comprehension of Scripture's interconnectedness before deriving practical applications.

18114 NAPOLEANLiterary Legacy Of Novelist George SandFiona Sampson, author of Becoming George, Part Two: Sampson discusses French author George Sand (Aurore Dupin), examining her distinct appearance, unconventional attire, and public identity in 19th-century Paris. Sand broke social taboos through her independent lifestyle, extramarital affairs, and progressive writings on women, ecology, and working-class lives. Sampson outlines Sand's complex personal relationships, including her tense dynamic with her daughter Solange, her supportive role for her son Maurice, and her nine-year relationship with composer Frédéric Chopin, whose artistic output she enabled. Additionally, Sampson highlights Sand's deep literary friendship and correspondence with Gustave Flaubert and her enduring influence on modern literature. (6)

1874 MONETLiterary Evolution Of Novelist George SandFiona Sampson, author of Becoming George, explores the life and literary legacy of Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, who became the pioneering nineteenth-century French author George Sand. Sampson traces Sand's upbringing at Nohant, marked by childhood grief, an aristocratic paternal lineage blended with working-class maternal roots, and a formative convent education in Paris. After escaping a brief, unhappy marriage to Casimir Dudevant, Sand established independence in Paris, initially collaborating with Jules Sandeau before achieving immediate solo acclaim with her debut novels Indiana and Lélia. Her writings broke ground by depicting female interiority, challenging traditional marriage institutions, and infusing progressive political idealism into intimate social narratives amidst turbulent French political eras.

Did the Gospel writers change historical events to make a theological point? Or can the differences between the Gospels be explained through normal historical reporting and paraphrase?In Part 2 of this discussion on genre criticism, Dr. Paul Weaver continues his conversation with Dr. Lydia McGrew about the growing debate over how Christians should understand the Gospel accounts—and particularly the claim that the Gospel writers used “literary devices” to reshape or relocate historical events.Dr. McGrew challenges approaches that explain Gospel differences by appealing to compositional techniques such as displacement, arguing that some proposed “literary devices” go beyond ordinary paraphrase. She also addresses questions surrounding Jesus' “I am” sayings, the Gospel of John, harmonization, eyewitness differences, and the historical reliability of Scripture.In this episode, they discuss:Whether Jesus' “I am” sayings in John should be understood as historical“Before Abraham was, I am” and “I and the Father are one”The relationship between the Gospel of John and the Synoptic GospelsWhat counts as legitimate paraphrase—and what goes beyond itWhether Gospel differences require literary or compositional explanationsWhy Christians should not be afraid of harmonizing the GospelsHow apparent contradictions can sometimes support rather than undermine eyewitness independenceWhy Christians should critically engage with fellow Christian scholarsThe danger of dismissing arguments through labels such as “hyper-conservative” or “fundamentalist”What the early Church Fathers believed about the historical nature of the GospelsHow Christians can grow in confidence in the reliability and historicity of the Gospel accountsMcGrew's central encouragement is not simply to take one scholar's word over another, but to read the arguments, examine the evidence, define terms carefully, and think critically.If the historical reliability of the Gospels matters to you, this is an important conversation about how we interpret Gospel differences—and what is at stake when we explain them.Watch Part 2 of this conversation and join the discussion.

In our last episode of the season, Marlon and Jake take on the worst books by the best authors—or at least, authors they usually love. They discuss why a journalist's instincts can be both a gift and a curse when writing fiction, the importance of a great editor, writers who seem more interested in ideas than people, and novels that try so hard to be current they end up aging badly.

In this first part of a two-part conversation, Dr. Paul Weaver speaks with Dr. Lydia McGrew about one of the most important—and controversial—issues facing the evangelical church: genre criticism and its implications for the historical reliability of the Gospels.What happens when we interpret Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John through the lens of literary conventions and Greco-Roman biography? Did the Gospel writers rearrange events or alter historical details for literary purposes? And where is the line between legitimate literary technique and changing what actually happened?In this episode, they discuss:Genre criticism and how it is being applied to the GospelsThe Gospels as Greco-Roman biographies (bioi)Literary devices, authorial intent, and historical accuracyWhether Gospel writers rearranged events or changed detailsThe relationship between genre criticism and biblical inerrancyWhy these questions matter for Gospel reliability and Christian confidence in ScriptureDr. Lydia McGrew is an analytic philosopher specializing in epistemology and the historical reliability of the New Testament.

On today's show, we remember Dolly Parton through books. We also learn that nasty political campaigns are not a 21st-century invention. Plus, we hear sounds from a live mariachi performance.

Nevada's low literacy rates among the valley's youth are always a hot-button issue as it relates to our education system as a whole, and while we were looking back at Dolly Parton's legacy, we found an interesting connection she has to helping Las Vegas kids get a jump on reading, which got us thinking about what else can be done to improve our education system in a meaningful way. It turns out our housing shortage is worse than many realize, after a new report said Vegas needs 5,000 new apartments every year to make a dent. We dig into whether or not that's reasonable and how we can make housing more affordable for locals. Plus, we've got another installment of Good News Friday. And in our members-only bonus segment, we break down the latest parking update for the Arts District and explain why paid parking might not be so bad after all. Host Jesse Merrick dives into it all with Spotlight Poetry founder Elle Hope and "Keep It Local" writer Melinda Sheckells.

What happens when a celebrated novelist loses his relevance, his marriage begins to crumble, and the person who seems to believe in him most is the young au pair caring for his children?That's the provocative setup for Teddy Wayne's new novel, The Au Pair.On Speaking of Writers, Teddy joins Steve Richards for a conversation about literary ambition, desire, masculinity, marriage, class, self-deception, the changing cultural power of the literary novel, and why some of the most dangerous fictions are the ones we tell ourselves.We also talk about the transition from novel to screenplay, The Winner, Hollywood, and the fascinating question of whether a writer can ever truly escape the stories he creates.

Hello EICroquettes! We are so back and Oenone has fallen for a new conspiracy, it's like we've never been away. We're bursting to the seams with two weeks of what we've been loving: from memes to literature - as always, we're across it all. Enemy of the pod Sam Altman has found himself as the subject of a hilarious (and believable to some) series of memes created by Frosted Jake. Is this the ultimate punch up? Or did Frosted Jake inadvertently create a pitch perfect ChatGPT ad?Once again, the world of literature has been dominated with discourse around AI use in publishing. Have we ushered in a new era of AI witch-hunts? And why are non-white authors being disproportionately targeted? We also discuss the tragic news of Dr Jason Arday's death and consider the responsibility of the media's reporting around it. We know that this is an upsetting topic - so we just want to give you a heads up that this comes at the end of the episode. Have you been at the Edinburgh Fringe? DM us with your dispatches: we want to hear about the best shows, your favourite new talents, and if any of you saw Amanda Knox's show.

“And I was catching my breath, barefoot in the wildest winter…” What happens when a 21st-century American poet meets a 19th-century one? In this Show & Tell episode, we explore the literary lineage between Taylor Swift and Emily Dickinson. Each of us brings a favorite Dickinson poem paired with a Swift song that touch on shared motifs such as separation, isolation, and hope. Tune in to find out which modern-day Taylor tracks sound like 19th-century poetry—and why we think Emily might vibe with Evermore.   Two ways to get more of AP Taylor Swift: Substack: free subscribers get episode updates.

Mary Shelley didn't just create Frankenstein - she helped invent modern science fiction while forever changing the landscape of horror. This episode, we explore her remarkable life: her radical parents, scandalous romance with Percy Shelley, the personal tragedies that shaped her, and the stormy night that gave birth to one of literature's greatest monsters. Along the way, we'll also trace how a novel written by an eighteen-year-old became one of the most influential stories ever told, inspiring centuries of debate about science, humanity, and what it truly means to be a creator.

New Zealand-born writer Meg Mason shot to acclaim in the middle of the pandemic with her novel Sorrow and Bliss. Now she's back with a book about a lonely woman who lives on the periphery of the spotlight in the world of the literary festival.

Job is not the only ancient book about a righteous man who suffers for no nameable reason. Cultures across Sumer, Babylon, and Egypt wrote about pious sufferers who lamented, searched their lives for a hidden crime, and found nothing—and every one of them eventually traded away either their innocence or their god to make the pain stop. David and Christine open a new series on Job by reading it alongside these ancient neighbors and showing why Job refuses that trade, and why what he asks for is not relief but vindication.
