The Unlikely Disciple on TV!

WSET Channel 13, Lynchburg’s ABC affiliate, ran a short segment last night on the reaction to The Unlikely Disciple on Liberty Mountain, including the bookstore advisory committee’s 3-1 vote in favor of stocking the book on campus.  The segment features Liberty professor Karen Swallow Prior (who wrote this review of the book in Christianity Today’s Books & Culture) and Liberty students Joyanna Gilmour and Samuel Loncar saying nice things about the book, as well as a Liberty administrator, VP Mark Hine, whose opinions are more critical.

Watch the segment here.

I’m not shocked by criticism, especially from Liberty administrators, since – although the book is filled with positive observations about Liberty – I take an honest look at the school’s shortcomings as well.  But if administrators are going to accuse me of writing “inaccuracies” into the book, I’d at least like to see a list of the alleged errors so I can respond accordingly.  So far, I’ve heard only vague accusations.

  • Hey, the video didn’t work for me. Perhaps you could put a link to the station’s site?

  • As an alum and reading the book, I’d be curious as to the inaccuracies as well?!? Hmm.

  • Please, it’s not Liberty Mountain, but Candler’s Mountain, has been for 100s of years.
