On our show, today is Thomas Barrie. His perspective on the personal meaning that housing holds in our culture is helpful for our audience to hear.
We cover questions regarding-
- In your book, you stated that home is a complex word that is typically charged with personal meanings... Why is that?
- During your exploration of the idea of homelessness, you mentioned that in history it has played a redemptive role. How would you define redemptive and can you give us some examples?
- What is one thing you think people should know about housing?
