Listen "Wrestling to keep the evangelical line"
Episode Synopsis
Tim returns to the studio as the Shock Absorber discusses the 2010s and it's impact on evangelism. Following on from the three lines of Christian evangelicalism that emerged following the Scopes Trial in the 1920s, the 2010s saw the further splintering of both the fundamentalist and modernist/liberal strands. This leads to a discussion about how to hold on to the evangelical line, wrestling with what God wants us to do and testing new ideas against Scripture.01:15 Cultural Artefact - Party in the U.S.A. by Miley Cyrus11:24 The paths of Christian evangelicalism20:03 Progressive Christianity and bundling40:11 Wrestling for the evangelical line1:09:08 The Tea PartyWatch this episode on YouTubeDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEParty in the U.S.A., by Miley CyrusRoe v WadeScopes TrialAnglicans Bishops block marriage statement at SynodAlain TouraineDeconstructionJohn StottJ.I.
