John Wilsey on Love of God, Country, and History - The Sower Episode 75 (audio)

Josh Bowman talks with John Wilsey about his new book, God and Country: Upholding Faith, History, and National Identity (B&H Academic Press, 2026). We discuss historiography, why history matters for Christians, the importance of virtue for historical thinking, and what it means to have a “rightly ordered patriotism.” John Wilsey is Professor of Church History and Philosophy and Chair of the Department of Church History and Historical Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
