Imagining Evangelicalism
KAREN SWALLOW PRIOR
Karen Swallow Prior joins the podcast to discuss her recent book The Evangelical Imagination. We discuss the role the imagination—both of the individual and the society at large (i.e. the social imaginary—plays in shaping the church, the difference between worldview and imagination, what it means for us to be enculturated Christians, modernity, literature, and much more!
Karen Swallow Prior is Professor of English at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. She writes frequently on literature, culture, ethics, and ideas. She is the author of several books, most recently The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis (Brazos, 2023).
