Analysis of Wilson’s call for readers to “suspend disbelief” when engaging his theological work, and the implications of applying a fictional reading posture to doctrinal claims.
Doug Wilson Says Read My Theology Book with a ‘Willing Suspension of Disbelief’ Because ‘Wouldn’t It Be Glorious If This Really Were True?’
(Updated on ) | Opinion by Nathan Wells
“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
