Show Notes
Jim Spiegel sits down with political scholar Ben Crenshaw to discuss the crossroads of politics and faith following the death of Charlie Kirk.
We discuss the broader hesitancy among Christians (right and left) to combine theology and politics and the roots of American public life, tracing the influence of Christian thought on the nation’s founding.
We look at the broader cultural trends, such as the marginalization of religious and supernatural ideas across academic fields and 'cancel culture' and the ethical standards of public shame.
Join us for part one of our two-part series on faith and politics.
