A podcast coming to warm your ears this winter.

Oct 07, 2021

This is Jane & Jesus, we’re a podcast hosted by Karen Swallow Prior and produced by SoulShop and by subscribing to this newsletter you’ll get the latest updates about the show.

For the curious minds who want to know what’s happening on the show:

What is the life worth living? What are our obligations to ourselves and to others? What does love mean, and how might we embody virtue?

These questions are as ancient as humanity’s primordial pursuit for self-understanding, and our podcast will examine them and others by looking at the surprising intersections of two figures: Jesus Christ and Jane Austen.

By closely reading a different one of Austen’s novels each season, and by examining her characters in light of Christ’s teachings, we hope to shed light on both, presenting a take on literature and popular culture that is as edifying as it is entertaining.

The first season will focus, naturally, on Pride and Prejudice, arguably Austen’s best known and most celebrated work.
