Episode notes

There's a lot of Christian wealth in the U.S., says Curtis Rushkoff. But there are those who see it as secular humanism baptized for cultural relevance or perhaps even cousin-politan gain, he adds.Rushkoff: I think more seriously and gravely, at least in the popular imagination, people hear humanism and they sort of immediately hear secular humanism. He also wonders if Protestants broadly just have not taken the incarnation seriously enough - evangelicals specifically.

Curtis tackles this epoch defining question with Comment Editor in Chief, Anne Snyder Brooks. Together they explore the distinctive vision Christians have to offer a world beset by dehumanizing forces. This wide ranging exploration includes both the big ideas and stakes involved in this question, as well as practical steps each one of us can take to embody (in the words of Irenaeus) “the glory of God in a human being fully alive.”
