JR. welcomes fellow podcaster Megan Tietz of the Sorta Awesome Podcast to discuss the literary firestorm surrounding Harper Lee’s recently-published Harper Lee’s sequel/prequel to To Kill a Mockingbird. We dive into the complicated publication history, and spend a lot of time on the book’s controversial portrayal of beloved Atticus Finch. Along the way, we reflect on our own histories with the book, race and why this might be the perfect time for us to read the book.
Randal Rauser returns to the StoryMen to call for Evangelicals to reconsider our approach to Atheism. After we review the ugly history of Christian-Atheist relations, we examine how we can begin to show respect for our atheist neighbors, and even learn from them.
