Is reading for pleasure or for profit?
Ellie, Fred, and Paul are joined by faculty guest Dr. Isaac Blois to talk about the value of "pagan" literature. We ask: is reading just for fun, or just for learning? Can you learn from books other than the Bible, and if so, what types of truths or lessons can non-biblical texts impart?
