  • #82 Cruciform Political Power - with Mike Gorman
    Aug 11 2025

    The power of the cross is weakness, according to the apostle Paul. How does that idea translate into the dog-eat-dog world of politics?

    In this episode we interview Dr. Mike Gorman, Raymond E. Brown Professor of Biblical Studies and Theology at St. Mary's Seminary and University. He shares the content of a forthcoming book which explores, among other things, what the apostle Paul might say to the christian nationalist movement. This is a link to the article by Barney mentioned in the episode:

    • Love is Not an Executive Order.

  • #80 Christian Patriotism is not Nationalism - with James Walters
    Jul 1 2025

    What is the difference between patriotism and nationalism? Is one of them acceptable (even desirable) from a Christian point of view?

    In this episode we interview James Walters, Professor at the London School of Economics. As an ordained priest in the Church of England, he is the first person we've interviewed who belongs to an established state church. This gives him a perspective somewhat different from the American one in which separation of church and state is the assumed norm.
