    • The Ballot and the Bible Ep. 5 -- Chapters 8-9 -- Pondering the Faith of Presidents -- Part 1
      Nov 29 2024

      Summary

      Part 1 of 2. In chapters 8 and 9, we think about the faith of 3 out of 4 of the most recent presidents of the United States: George W. Bush, Barak Obama, and Donald Trump. We talk about American Civil Religion, and how it fuses orthodox Christian doctrine with nationalism. And we talk about the function of bias, especially our own, and how it makes us hypersensitive to the errors of some, and less watchful of the errors of others.

      Summary

      Join us for a conversation that takes a surprising but enjoyable turn into church history, as we discuss Chapter 6 "The Magic of the Market: the hermeneutics of small government" and Chapter 7 "The Late Great United States: biblical eschatology in the Cold War.

      No panda references, but we do find ourselves wondering if the heavenly city might be depicted as a Borg cube.

    • The Ballot and the Bible Ep. 3 -- "A Stick of Dynamite": Civil Rights and Scripture
      Oct 25 2024

      Send us a text

      Summary

      We look in this episode at Schiess' chapter on the civil rights movement, and discuss in particular the use of the Christian message in social issues, and the death of Christendom. We also discuss whether the career of "panda pastor" is more or less justified than the belief that America is a Christian nation.
