In this episode of Bad Words, Janice and Dr. Laura Anderson dive deep into the 1997 Christian romance novel 'Redeeming Love' by Francine Rivers. They recount the events leading up to Chapters 7-9, critique the problematic portrayal of women, and discuss the intersections of purity culture, consent, and power dynamics. Alongside humorous takes, the hosts tackle serious conversations about the book's impact on evangelical thought and women's autonomy.
