  • #79 Whose Christianity? Which Nationalism? - with Elizabeth Bruenig

    #79 Whose Christianity? Which Nationalism? - with Elizabeth Bruenig
    Jun 2 2025

    Not every Christian agrees on what a “Christian government” should look like. Whoever is in power will have to decide what form of Christianity to implement, and they are likely to claim it is the only valid kind.

    In this episode we chat with Elizabeth Bruenig, journalist for The Atlantic, on Christian Nationalism in the US. Does it really represent the values shared by all Christians? Does it have the right to speak in the name of “Christianity”?

    #77 - European Nationalism & Constitutions w/ Marietta van der Tol
    Apr 22 2025

    How can national constitutions persecute religious minorities? What would motivate them to do so, and is this motivation really Christian? These questions and others are addressed by Marietta van der Tol in her book, Constitutional Intolerance (CUP, 2025). In this episode, Barney and Austin draw out some of Marietta’s key insights not only in this book but other of her publications.
