As a professor of English, Karen Swallow Prior argues that reading both shapes character and requires character, including patience, prudence, and love. Dr. Prior offers Christian perspectives on events for the New York Times and the Atlantic, taking up the role of public theologian. Although she never sought one, she has a "platform" – and explains why it is ill-advised to seek a platform.
