Show Notes
It's the 75th Good Faith episode and we're celebrating our "diamond" podcast by running back one of our first episodes. First released in November 2021, this episode is a "classic" (in our minds) because we define terms around several key questions that have recurred on Good Faith: "What is an 'evangelical?' Is it a set of religious beliefs, a set of cultural beliefs, or a set of political beliefs? How does evangelicalism compare with fundamentalism?" Is "evangelical" a term worth salvaging for Christians?"
