I have the pleasure of interviewing Richard Scott Nokes, a Professor in Medieval Literature and oral histories at Troy University, Alabama. We discussed the stories behind his family's Protestant faith, how his faith bestowed him a strange lack of fear in a near-death experience, questions of good vs. evil and suffering, along with religious literature and contemporary social trends, such as The Big Sort.

我很荣幸采访了特洛伊大学（Troy University，阿拉巴马州）的中世纪文学与口述史教授 Richard Scott Nokes。我们谈到了他家族新教信仰背后的故事、信仰如何让他在一次濒死经历中产生一种奇异的无畏感，以及善与恶、苦难等问题；此外，我们还讨论了宗教文学与当代社会趋势，例如“The Big Sort”（社会大分流）现象。
