“The Evangelical movement right now is like a cruise liner that has been hit by a bunch of torpedoes.” Political theologian Vincent Bacote wants to be part of a movement that not only proclaims good news, it performs good news. 

Stephen sits down with Vince to be schooled in the ways of the politician and theologian Abraham Kuyper. We find out what drew Vince, an evangelical African American academic and rock fan in the present age to Abraham, a Dutch Reformed prime minister of the Netherlands who died in 1920. Along the way the conversation takes in Calvinism, common grace, KISS and Iron Maiden. We ask: are elections the hinge of history? Can people of diametrically opposite views ever work together? 

Vince is the Associate Professor of Theology and the Director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics at Wheaton College. He is the author of several books on public theology and a signatory of Christians Against Trumpism.
