Shownotes Transcript

In the first episode of “The Threat of White Christian Nationalism”, host Reed Galen is joined by journalist and bestselling author Jeff Sharlet. They discuss the religious and cultural landscape of present-day American evangelicalism, how white Christian nationalism is not "old-time religion" but a rapidly mutating political theology, and how white Christian nationalism isn't synonymous with piety and has warped into an ideology to serve Trumpism. If you’d like to hear more from Jeff Sharlet, be sure to check out his work for Vanity Fair and pick up his latest book, The Undertow: Scenes From A Slow Civil War.
