Last week the NCC signed on to a
statement called, "A Call to Resist Bigotry: A Statement of
Faithful Obedience." This statement, signed by Christian
leaders from wide range of perspectives, addresses the open bigotry
that has been a hallmark of Donald Trump's presidential
campaign.
In this episode we will talk
with Dr. David Gushee, president-elect of the Society of Christian
Ethics, and vice president of the American Academy of Religion, who
was one of the drafters of this document. We will tackle the
challenging task of critiquing a popular presidential candidate on
the basis of Christian theology and ethics and put Trump's
candidacy in an historical context.
