We read literature and philosophy, talk through film and games when they help, and ask what these works reveal about the soul, the good life, and the Christian imagination. Hosted by Andrew Snyder, Ph.D., professor of theology and philosophy, the show gathers fellow readers and thinkers around a common table. Some episodes are lessons. Most are recorded discussions. All of them aim at seeing more clearly, not merely consuming more content. New seasons take up a shared theme across the Fellowship.
