BiblioFiles #113: Redemptive Love

Adam and Missy go it alone in this episode dedicated to exploring the topic of redemptive or sacrificial love. Why is it so prevalent in literature? How do we interpret the reader’s instinctive relief when it shows up? What does it mean when it’s absent? The CenterForLit directors explore these issues and more without interruption from the second generation.
