Christians, Kuyper, Politics, and Race - with Dr. Vincent Bacote

Insurrectionists storming the Capitol and Rep. Josh Hawley, who supported those who stormed the Capitol, invoking the name of Abraham Kuyper. How can white evangelicals learn from this ugly chapter on America's history? What can we do, as we seek to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, to move forward? As a Black man and an evangelical theology scholar, Dr. Vincent Bacote is able to help white Christians better navigate the nexus of evangelical culture, politics, theology, and race. Vincent Bacote, PhD, is Associate Professor of Theology and the Director of Center for Applied Christian Ethics at Wheaton College. Bacote's latest book is Reckoning with Race and Performing the Good News: In Search of a Better Evangelical Theology, published in November 2020 in the Brill Research Perspectives series. He is also the author of The Political Disciple: A Theology of Public Life. Thanks for listening! Your hosts are Brendan Romigh and Dr. Bob Robinson, the Executive Director of Reintegrate.
