594: How Fear & Greed Corrupted American Evangelicalism with Tim Alberta

Published: Dec. 6, 2023, 11 a.m.

b'

Conspiracy theories, political idolatry, church divisions, and pastoral burnout. How do we explain what\\u2019s happened to the evangelical movement in America? Tim Alberta is a political journalist and staff writer for The Atlantic. His new book, \\u201cThe Power, the Glory, and the Kingdom,\\u201d looks at how evangelicalism lost its way. As an evangelical himself, Alberta says fear and greed created the conditions for extremism to take over the movement. Also this week, surprising data after the Dobbs decision shows birthrates are up in states that banned abortion, but overall abortion rates nationwide are also higher. And should we use ChatGPT to interpret the Bible? Kaitlyn\\u2019s new article says probably not.
