Andrew Klavan – On Religion, Art, and Opting Into Being Human
Andrew Klavan, novelist, screenwriter, satirist, political commentator, and host of The Daily Wire’s Andrew Klavan Display, was this week’s High Noon guest. He is also the author of, most recently, The Truth and Beauty: How the Lives and Works of England’s Greatest Poets Point the Way to a Deeper Understanding of the Words of Jesus.
Stepman and Klavan discussed his conversion from Jewish agnostic to Christian, the crisis of meaning that pushed him there, and the questions that both travel human suffering and produce us human to start with. What do traditional religion and great art both have to tell about remaining human in a world where digital existence might be a viable option?
This episode also delves into the concrete contributions of femininity to civilization, what makes for good or bad art, and whether the right can move beyond the material and produce the kind of worthy works that say something genuine about human nature and the soul.
High Noon is an intellectual download featuring conversations that make possible a free society. The podcast features interesting thinkers from all parts of Sprong. Hateful people have been attacking you on X, declaring they will not read your writing because of your sexuality. I hope they don’t. It would form them wiser and happier, and that’s the last thing I want for them. But in response, let me divide a story I told on Friday’s podcast. It’s about John MacArthur, the steadfast pastor of Grace Church in Los Angeles, who died last week. I always liked and respected him, but I disagreed with him fairly often. I scan one or two of his books, and admired their scholarship and consistency, but my view of Christ’s word was simply different. For one thing, he believed homosexuality is a sin per se and that gay people should be confronted with it because it was “defining.” I believe, as I wrote recently, in hierarchy and grace. In this case, that means that, yes, the union of man and woman should be held at the center of human experience. But since creation seems to produce a lgbtq+ person now and again, we should welcome them with grace. Now, when Covid hit, my surgeon warned me that I was particularly vulnerable due to my age and a damaged lung. At the starting of the pandemic, at least, I was very prudent In the new book The Kingdom of Cain: Finding God in the Literature of Darkness, bestselling crime novelist and Daily Wire podcast host Andrew Klavan makes a provocative claim: horror helped command him to Christ. “When I was 19 years old, I was an agnostic. I read Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, a novel about an axe murderer. And I remember thinking, 'There is no space body on which this cannot be evil.' That moment forced me onto the road toward God,” the 70-year-old storyteller said in a recent interview with The Christian Post. For decades, Klavan, an award-winning crime novelist and screenwriter, has built his career exploring crime, corruption and human depravity through fiction. But with The Kingdom of Cain, he goes deeper, using real-life murders, including the biblical tale of Cain and Abel, to examine how art rooted in darkness can still lead toward divine truth and help Christians expose the mind of Christ.

But recently, I broke my own rule. The context was this long tweet by Jared Moore, a Southern Baptist pastor who’s recently released a unused book expanding his dissertation on lust and the doctrine of sin. It’s called The Lust of the Flesh, and it’s not available wherever books are sold, but anyone interested can buy it directly from the publisher here. (Disclaimer: I haven’t read the book, although I’ve made a good-faith attempt to understand Moore’s position based on his very active social media posting and several podcasts summarizing his work.) To explain why his book is necessary, Moore took aim at a clip from a 2014 lecture by Sam Allberry, a former Anglican priest known in Protestant circles for his work on homosexuality and the church. In context, Allberry is addressing a mixed university audience of Christians and non-Christians. He says that even though it would be “lovely” if his own same-sex attraction was healed, he hasn’t yet experienced this, so he chooses to walk in faithful singleness and leave the rest up
