Episode Description:

Insurrectionists storming the Capitol and Senator Josh Hawley, who supported those who stormed the Capitol, invoking the name of Abraham Kuyper. How can white evangelicals learn from this ugly chapter in America’s history? What can we do, as we seek to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, to move forward?

As a Black man and an evangelical theology scholar, Dr. Vincent Bacote is able to help white Christians better navigate the nexus of evangelical culture, politics, theology, and race.

Vincent Bacote, PhD, is Associate Professor of Theology and the Director of Center for Applied Christian Ethics at Wheaton College.

Bacote’s latest book is Reckoning with Race and Performing the Good News: In Search of a Better Evangelical Theology, published in November 2020 in the Brill Research Perspectives series. He is also the author of The Political Disciple: A Theology of Public Life.
