Hannah and Nathan (Audio)

By Wendell Berry
Foreword by Gregory Wolfe
(2008)

Steve Brown narrates this Trinity Forum Reading selection that helps us think about love, marriage, and our place in the world.

“Hannah & Nathan,” a Trinity Forum Reading, features an excerpt from Hannah Coulter, a novel set in Wendell Berry’s fictional Port William, Kentucky, as Hannah narrates the events surrounding her courtship and marriage with Nathan Coulter after the death of her first husband in World War II. In the process, she welcomes the reader into a way of life different from our own, and into a vision for what a human life can be.

The Foreword by Gregory Wolfe, editor of the journal Image and director of the MFA program at Seattle Pacific University, introduces Berry and the story and helps us consider the public dimensions of love, marriage, and place.

This audio edition is narrated by Steve Brown, a talk-show host, seminary professor, and founder and president of Key Life Network. It is packaged in a handsome CD-sized case designed for safe shipping.

(88 minutes on 2 CDs)
