Makes me feel knowledgable without having to read the books themselves!
I am a big fan of As Lutheran As It Gets, so Banned Books is a treat. Every episode delves into a part of an author's work, to look at how they present the Gospel and whether Jesus is even present in their text. I really enjoyed the one on The Idiot by Dostoyevsky; it remined me of college literature classes - in a good way. The pastors' approach to criticism is pointed, direct, but never personal - demonstrating that you can disagree with someone without demonizing them. Every episode is worth the time. Particularly the one on The Idiot... but I'm biased.Read full review »

I wait every week for the next episode of Banned Books. It’s intelligent, remarkably Lutheran, and will get you hooked. Pastors Gillespie & Riley bring the goods every week and never disappoint. Stay strong fellas!

They’re getting better at “getting back to the text,” as they’ll say often throughout. But whether they’re on or off-topic, it’s always interesting and worth listening to. Few podcasts constantly remind you of the importance of the Gospel and all the ways our culture gets it wrong.
