This was the greatest interview — I was there — I think the back of my head in the second row was shown a few times.

His talk truly revolutionized my idea of pastorate and seminary — his opinion that all pastors should spend the first year of seminary reading great works of literature. Amen!

His Eat This Book is a must-read. And I loved his reasoning for enjoying Joyce and finding helpful hints in Ulysses.

And his thin about Bono — “Dean, it was Isaiah!” Too funny.

Dean Nelson was kind enough to share his office with me when I was a startving adjunct in the lit dept of Point Loma. I still can’t get used to seeing him in a tie….

Thanks for posting this. It’s wonderful. I was/am a little bit jealous of you getting to see him.
