In this podcast series, New Wine Director Dr. Paul Louis Metzger interviews various individuals who will be speaking at the Church & State conference on October 27 at Multnomah Biblical Seminary.
In this second installment our guest is Tom Krattenmaker. Tom is a religion columnist at USA Today and frequently writes about Evangelical Christians. As you’ll hear in the interview, Tom is not an Evangelical himself. His treatment of Evangelicals is refreshingly optimistic and hopeful as you can see in his acclaimed piece “The Evangelicals You Don’t Know“. Tom has a book by the same name due out in 2013. The book is an optimistic examination of the new currents in evangelicalism in politics and culture and it challenges progressives and secularists to rethink their notion that all evangelicals are their political enemies. For us Evangelicals, Tom’s “outsider’s perspective” is valuable for us, especially as we consider our engagement in matters of church and state.
Listen to this conversation with Tom Krattenmaker about what he’ll be discussing at Church & State and some of his hopes for how Evangelical Christians will continue to shape our cultural landscape.
We hope you’ll join us for this event on October 27. For more information and to register, please visit the Church & State page.
