ENCORE: Democracy’s Christian Enemies — Part 1

Are there tendencies within Christian tradition that put some versions of the faith in tension with core principles of democracy? What is “Authoritarian Reactionary Christianity?” How can a pluralistic society guard against the rise of political figures—including Donald Trump—aiming to weaponize this phenomenon? In this two-part conversation, Ron Steslow and Rev. Prof. David Gushee (Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University) discuss these provocative questions and more as they dive into David’s book, Defending Democracy From Its Christian Enemies. In part 1: (04:40) Ron shares a personal note with David about the impact he’s had on Ron’s journey (07:24) David discussed a few of the transformative moments in his career (13:08) The historical and current challenges Christianity poses to democratic values (16:30) Why some Christians are skeptical of democracy and the nuanced reasons behind it (22:02 ) Authoritarian Reactionary Christianity and why it’s a better term for what we’re seeing than Christian Nationalism (28:38) How certain Christian groups prioritize their beliefs over democratic norms and values (34:02) The cycle of secular revolutions followed by religious counter-revolutions For more of David’s work visit his website: https://www.davidpgushee.com/ Follow Ron on X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/RonSteslow Email your questions and thoughts to podcast@politicology.com or leave us a voicemail at ‪(202) 455-4558‬.
