Listen "22. What Does It Mean to Be an Evangelical (No More)?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode focusing on our November theme (the Long Journey), Liz and Peter discuss his previous statement that he might still be an evangelical, delving into the history of evangelicalism and the long journey of spirituality that forms each of us today. They also discuss supersessionism, the weaponization of the Bible, the peculiar (rancid?) smell of evangelicalism, and why the Episcopal Church and other mainline denominations may not be the solution post-evangelicals and exvangelicals think they may be. They also discuss Mark Noll's America's Book: The Rise and Decline of a Bible Civilization, 1794-1911 and the ways the Bible has been a blessing a burden in their lives and in American Christianity.
