When Politics Becomes Heresy, with Dr. Tim Perry
Tim Perry returns to the show to discuss politics in light of... ancient categories of heresy?
Dr. Tim Perry returns to Mere Fidelity with a (as Matt calls it) “spicy” book about how ancient heresies have structured the political witness of modern evangelicalism. This is bad. Maybe even very bad.
