Episode 58: Christian Right, Christian Left

Michial Farmer moderates a discussion with (Comrade) Nathan Gilmour and (Ayatollah) David Grubbs about the strange relationships between political parties and Christian confession in America. One of the central questions (that we try really hard to answer) is whether and to what extent partisan identity stunts moral reasoning. Among the ideas and phenomena we discuss are the U.S. Constitution, the Abolition movement, the Social Gospel, Focus on the Family, whether or not the current Christian Left deserves that title, and some suggestions for how Christians can relate to political parties.
