Eric Metaxas and I are both big fans of Dr. Karen Swallow Prior of Liberty University. I got to know Karen because we both write for Her.meneutics; I'm not sure how Eric got acquainted with her work, but on his Facebook page, he called her "fabulous" and "iconoclastic" afer reading this interview about her forthcoming literary memoir, which I can't wait to get my hands on. Read the article for a compelling portrait of how one conservative Christian English professor deals with stereotypes and misunderstandings; how she manages to integrate faith, academia, and activism; and why Liberty was thrilled that she had an arrest record.
