Interview: Dr. David Gushee - Defending Democracy

<p>On this special Sunday edition of The Fear of God, Nathan invites back to the show author, professor, and Christian ethicist Dr. David Gushee for discussion about his new book: DEFENDING DEMOCRACY FROM ITS CHRISTIAN ENEMIES.</p><p>While the work's title certainly pulls no punches about its themes, both its content and this conversation is incredibly thoughtful, tracking the history and development of democracy as a national framework and providing crucial context for why it is presently being challenged by certain strands of thought within the Christian faith. In moments both hopeful and sobering, this dialogue not only illuminates why this consideration is so vital for our moment in history, but points the way towards stronger reconciliation and communal cooperation between divergent political landscapes.</p><p>It's a hearty and thoughtful discussion. We're privileged to have hosted it and we hope you enjoy it.</p><p><br></p><p>Previous conversations with Dr Gushee and the Fear of God can be found below.</p><p><a href="https://www.thefearofgodpodcast.com/blog/gusheeinterview?rq=gushee" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What Scares Us and What Saves Us Epilogue</a></p><p><a href="https://www.thefearofgodpodcast.com/blog/gusheeinterview2?rq=gushee" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Introducing Christian Ethics</a></p><p><br></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
