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.
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.
