029: Historical & Cultural Influences on Evangelicalism with Amy Fritz & Karen Swallow Prior
This is a special episode swap with my friend Amy Fritz at the Untangled Faith podcast. This episode was originally released in August 2023.
Dr. Karen Swallow Prior joins Amy Fritz on the Untangled Faith podcast to talk about how Stories, Metaphors, and Images have influenced the Evangelical imagination.
We should always be trying to be aware of cultural influences and think about how they shape us as humans. - Karen Swallow Prior
In this episode we:
- Discuss the cultural forces that drive evangelical norms.
- Learn some context and origin and development of the evangelical faith.
- Contend with sentimentality issues complicating the evangelical landscape.
- Grapple with the issues of incongruence between the message and the messenger.
