Christian Literature and the Numinous with Dr. Carolyn Weber

Storytelling, Myths, and Re-enchantment Dr. Carolyn Weber, a prolific writer, professor of literature, and ardent Christian, joins us to discuss the rich history of Christian literature and the purpose of Christian art. We discuss Rudolf Otto's concept of the numinous, or the feelings of awe and mystery which give us a sense of the supernatural. Is beauty more than aesthetic perfection? What can the Bible teach us about storytelling, myth, and archetype? What should the purpose of Christian writers be, and how should Christians handle genres such as horror? Finally, we close with a discussion of how to recover one's sense of mystery, wonder, and presence of the divine through literature. The C.S. Lewis Institute (CSLI) is a nonprofit organization designed to develop disciples who will articulate, defend, share, and live their faith in Christ in personal and public life.
