The Truth of Fiction and the Limits of My World: Dr. Greg Coles

In this podcast conversation, we talk about his book The Limits of My World, which includes themes around the philosophy of language, anthropology, gender, and the nature of reality. This leads to a broader conversation around fiction vs. nonfiction literature (including the Bible), the role of genre for determining meaning, and the possibility that fiction helps us see the truth more than non-fiction.
Gregory Coles is the author of Single, Gay, Christian, No Longer Strangers, and the recently released dystopian-ish novel, The Limits of My World. He holds a PhD in English from Penn State and lives in Boise, Idaho, where he works as a writer and speaker. Greg is a Senior Research Fellow at The Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender.

I listened to this episode and I loved the conversation. I have so many thoughts. I also love the space trilogy 🤩🤩 I’m interested to read the book someday, but I’m wondering if anyone else has heard of a book that sounds so similar. It is called Babel by r.f. Kuang. It is a historical fiction book that puts the Tower of Babel at Oxford university in the 1830s. Very good book so far but sounds way similar to this one. Either way, I’m really interested to look into this book!

Funny, I'm now getting more traction when you're losing it. God is good like that.😁
