Evangelical Politics: Theology or Sociology?

from Good Faith · host David French, Curtis Chang

In a follow up to last week's Deconstructing Faith episode, David French and Curtis Chang dive into the sometimes murky and contradictory political views of Christians. All too frequently, the political stances we think are biblical are actually just cultural.  Why are most Christians' political stances so predictable? For example, why do many believers who care about abortion not care as much about systemic racism? Or vice versa?  Tune into today's episode as Curtis and David tackle the fascinating interaction between politics, culture, and the Bible… and end with a surprising take on abortion and systemic racism.   Show Notes: -More in Common - The Hidden Tribes of America -Paul D. Miller - The Role of Social Science in 'Deconstructing' White Evangelicalism -Kristen du Mez - Jesus and John Wayne -Jemar Tisby - The Color of Compromise -George McKenna - On Abortion: A Lincolnian Position (circa 1995, but still relevant)

Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.
