Note: there is a leveling discrepancy between the intro comments and the interview, which begins around the 10:30 mark.
There's been two major shootings in the last two weeks. I try to piece together some thoughts, and combine a couple things from recent essays, in the intro to this re-released episode with Robert Jones. I guess it's best to just listen.
Essays I adapt for the intro:
Let the circle be broken. (https://www.postevangelicalpost.com/p/let-the-circle-be-broken?s=w)
Live Free and Die. (https://www.postevangelicalpost.com/p/live-free-and-die?s=w)
The interview is part of season 1 of Powers & Principalities (https://open.spotify.com/show/3KLVkLLHWad9tFpjSxwQOM?si=e30b8f6f1c764fe6) , which is about white evangelicalism & Christian nationalism.
Interview description:
My guest is Robert Jones, founder and CEO of PRRI (The Public Religion Research Institute), and author of the recent book White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity (Amazon (https://amzn.to/3lexWqF) , Bookshop (https://bookshop.org/a/11130/9781982122867) ). In this discussion, we talk about how his book reveals the ways white American Christianity's history of white supremacy pervades all denominations - white evangelicals, mainline Protestants, and white Catholics. We discuss the "restricted moral vision" of white Christians, the findings of the Racism Index, and much more.
