20: Substantive Stories feat. Robert P. Jones | White Too Long

This week The Substance welcomes Robert P. Jones to the show. Robert is the CEO and Founder of the Public Religion Research Institute, he holds an MDiv and a PhD in religion, and is the author of the recent, critically acclaimed “White Too Long.” White Too Long is combination of American history, survey data from PRRI, and the author’s own personal story.

Join us as we dive in to some difficult but necessary topics such as: how our sin affects our theology, the evils in the American Church’s history that caused Robert to write many portions of the book through tears, and how many Christians use the defense of calling something “liberal” or “political” as a means of avoiding genuine reflection on the merits of a viewpoint or argument.

And a huge THANK YOU to Robby’s team and the folks at Simon & Schuster for providing some giveaway copies of White Too Long. Details for the giveaway can be found on our Instagram.
