Banned Books
1517 PodcastsWelcome to Banned Books, where we read and converse with the rebel children, the holy mischief-makers of God, who fight against the kind of useless religious, spiritual, and moral methods of life improvement that seeks to smother the glory of God in Jesus Christ. We want to introduce you to those who forgot everything except Jesus Christ and him crucified. We all struggle with fear of being last, ... more

- Here’s the thing
You have to know what you’re getting into. It’s a lot like listening to stream of consciousness. There’s a general topic that they return to, but they will throw themselves down rabbit holes with little to no abandon. You have to be okay with listening to 2 hours of discussion about a book you may never read with references you may not understand, and inferences you may not follow or agree with. And if you’re okay with that, you’ll get hear literature, not just theological texts, interpreted th... more

I love these guys! They are the ones who always proclaim I'm forgiven of my sins, no matter who they are reviewing. And the coffee is great! I truly owe them a beer in heaven! Jesus has been gracious to deliver His grace from these sheepdogs. No one knows the trouble I've seen...Nobody knows but Jesus!

Apple Podcasts5Librarian GraceUnited States3 years ago - Disappointing
I am looking for well-informed podcasts on Flannery O’Connor. This wasn’t one of them. The podcasters said Flannery O’Connor had a PhD. She didn’t. The podcasters said there are Catholics in Georgia because King George was Catholic. He wasn’t. I’ll continue to look for podcasters who do more thorough preparation and don’t just make stuff up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Banned Books
What is Banned Books about and what kind of topics does it cover?
