Season 2, Episode 14: Oscar Wilde’s Jesus, Part I
Oscar Wilde wrote De Profundis (From the Depths) while enduring imprisonment for “indecency” (consensual same-sex relations) in England at the turn of the nineteenth century. Less well-known than plays like The Importance of Being Earnest or Salome, De Profundis shares Wilde’s prison conversion experience and spiritual awakening.
