Abstract

This article profiles Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast *Revisionist History*, highlighting its exploration of faith, conscience, and moral complexity through detailed storytelling. Gladwell draws on Jesuit casuistry, emphasizing particular cases over broad principles, and revisits themes of compassion, responsibility, and community, often reflecting on his own rediscovery of faith. Episodes such as "Generous Orthodoxy" and stories about figures like John Rock illustrate tensions between tradition and conscience, while Gladwell’s personal background and family experiences inform his focus on care and inclusion. The podcast presents faith not as doctrine but as a call to attentiveness and generosity toward others. [Extracted from the article]
