The Religion of American Greatness, with Dr. Paul Miller
Paul D. Miller, critic of Christian Nationalism, joins Matt and Alastair for a lively discussion of what it is (or is not) and why it's a problem (or isn't?).
In a perfect, though not fully intentional, follow-up to the conversation in the previous episode about Conservative Nationalism, Dr. Paul Miller joins Matt and Alastair to discuss his critique of Christian Nationalism as laid out in his new book The Religion of American Greatness. The big question: What is the Biblical model of the relation between church and state? The next question: Are Baptists part of the problem or solution?
