Michael G. Thompson on intellectual histories of Christianity and modern evangelicalism

This episode sees Simon sitting down with Dr Michael G. Thompson from Australian Catholic University in Brisbane. Dr Thompson is Lecturer in History, and specialises in the intellectual history of American Christianity in the twentieth century. His first book is For God and Globe, with Cornell University Press. We discuss his own fascinating journey in the academy, the task of the historian of Christianity, and the changing intellectual authority structures in the Christian church in North America and Australia across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
