Jonathan Rauch: Christianity Dropped the Ball on Democracy
About this episode
Jonathan Rauch asserts that as the American Church has become increasingly concerned with the culture war and politics, it has become secularized and unappealing to its members, who are abandoning it. The result is a country increasingly spiritually adrift, churches distracted from their core missions, and a nation turning to politics as a substitute.
He is the author of Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Promise with Democracy
