Analysis of Wilson’s suggestion that readers approach his theology as they would a work of fiction, and the broader implications of doing so for interpretation, accountability, and doctrine.
Doug Wilson Says Read My Theology Book with a ‘Willing Suspension of Disbelief’ Because ‘Wouldn’t It Be Glorious If This Really Were True?’
“So here is my proposal...read this little book as though it were a work of fiction. Just for a short while, I am asking for that willing suspension of disbelief. And if that request is granted, then I believe that a striking feature of this kind of historical optimism will become plain. Every Christian can agree on one thing at least\. Wouldn’t it be glorious if this really were true?” — Doug Wilson
