A Pastor and a Philosopher Walk into a Bar Is American Democracy in Danger? Interview with David Gushee
David Gushee is back on the show to discuss his book Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies, an erudite, timely, and disturbing take on American democracy, its struggles with authoritarianism, and its place on the global political stage. We discuss such questions as: How are government and morality related? What does the United States have in common with France, Germany, Hungary, or Brazil? How close to fascism are we? How concerned should we be? Can we be in relationship with those who support authoritarian leaders? What is ARC and why can't we remember what it stands for? And a lot more!
This is also our first ever in person interview! In case you're wondering, David is even more fun in person.
Content note: This episode has some adult themes.
