The Scandal Of Holiness by Jessica Hooten Wilson
Renewing Your Imagination in the Company of Literary Saints
This work argues that reading great literature can train the moral imagination toward holiness, a calling that appears scandalous in a secular age. Through reflections on novels and stories featuring sanctity, sacrifice, and self-giving love, it shows how narrative shapes desire, forms virtue, and invites readers to imitate “literary saints” in everyday life. Blending accessible literary criticism with spiritual formation, it offers practical guidance—reading lists, discussion questions, and habits—to help individuals and communities read for transformation rather than mere information.
