What do the Pope, the Puritans & Pastor Paula White have in common? Come along as we explore some of the how’s & why’s that make religion & politics a match not quite "made in heaven".
Rogiérs details the phenomena of 'colonial faith', its political underpinnings throughout history and draws links to modern American Evangelical culture and the political Right. We also discuss the ways (in theory + practice) that Black and Latino Evangelicals have propped up White Evangelical culture & Christian Nationalists...to the detriment of everyone.
