AS A wise evangelist once said, we’ve become so open-minded in America that our brains have fallen out. That pretty much describes the faithless and powerless Christian church described in Lars Walker’s 1999 novel Wolf Time.

By the time of the story told in 2014’s Death’s Doors, set in the same fictional town of Epsom, Minnesota, the true church has gone underground, assisted suicide is a constitutional right, and the federal government is advising citizens to “accept the enlightened and ancient blessings of Shariah Law.”

Author and “former Viking” Lars Walker joins us to discuss the trends in society and faith that led to Wolf Time and Death’s Doors.

Wolf Time expertly weaves together Norse and Christian eschatology, social commentary, and an entertaining plot featuring characters you really care about. Read the prologue and first four chapters for free at the Baen Books website (https://www.baen.com/Chapters/0671578154/0671578154.htm)

I purchased 3 of Lars' books as a result of this interview, Wolf Time, Erlings Word, and The Year of the Warrior. All second hand off Amazon. I got a pleasant surprise with the Warrior! It was autographed by Lars himself! Unfortunately I am a Male and my name is not Maria, but I accept his Best Wishes to me anyways! 😁😇☝

Thank you so much for this episode. I had not heard of these books but I think I will look into them. I really appreciated the insight into Scandinavian history as well. My great grandparents came from Dalarna in Sweden in 1910, we are still proud of the good things in our heritage.
