This episode was recorded before the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump.
What is it that binds Americans together as a nation?
That’s the question that Russell Moore and his guest, sociologist and professor James Davison Hunter, address on this episode of The Russell Moore Show. With political violence on the rise in America and around the world, Hunter helps us understand the roots of the crisis. They discuss the differences between consensus and solidarity, while pondering how humans tend to come alive in times of disaster and yet the COVID-19 pandemic produced opposite effects. Their conversation spans history, politics, and religion as Moore and Hunter observe the current state of affairs within evangelicalism.
Hunter and Moore talk about the lineage of culture wars and shifts in Christian presence in higher education. Hunter explains why he talks about culture in terms of weather and climate, as the two consider hotly contested social issues such as homosexuality, marijuana, and abortion.
Tune in for an episode that asks deep questions, navigates complex answers, and finds reason to hope.
