Summary

I’m joined today by Dr. David P. Gushee (University Professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University) to discuss the emerging scholarship coming from within Evangelicalism. We focus our conversation on a series of books that challenge the classic Bebbington Quadrilateral’s self-definition of evangelicalism, including Jesus and John Wayne, the Color of Compromise, David’s own book After Evangelicalism, and more. We cover topics like Christian worldview, whiteness, Americanism, and the intellectual underpinnings of Evangelicalism. David offers his picture of Jesus: “Apocalyptic prophet, lynched Son of God, and risen Lord”.David’s Website:https://davidpgushee.com/ David’s Books:https://davidpgushee.com/books/ Deconstruction of American Evangelicalism Article:https://davidpgushee.com/the-deconstruction-of-american-evangelicalism/ Baptist News Global Article:https://baptistnews.com/article/a-conservative-resurgence-in-u-s-catholicism/#.YcYu4hPMLOQ  Other Books:Jesus and John Wayne:https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-John-Wayne-Evangelicals-Corrupted/dp/1631495739/ref=asc_df_1631495739/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=509032833991&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2979242115882482512&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9023209&hvtargid=pla-920120626796&psc=1The Making of Biblical Womanhood:https://www.amazon.com/Making-Biblical-Womanhood-Subjugation-Became/dp/1587434709/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+making+of+biblical+womanhood&qid=1640546128&s=books&sprefix=making+of+bi%2Cstripbooks%2C107&sr=1-1The Color of Compromise:https://www.amazon.com/Color-Compromise-American-Churchs-Complicity/dp/0310113601/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=color+of+compromise+by+jemar+tisby&qid=1640546165&s=books&sprefix=color+of+com%2Cstripbooks%2C103&sr=1-1Taking America Back For God:https://www.amazon.com/Taking-America-Back-God-Nationalism/dp/0190057882/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=taking+america+back+for+god+whitehead&qid=1640546200&s=books&sprefix=taking+amer%2Cstripbooks%2C101&sr=1-2After Christianity (David’s Book):https://davidpgushee.com/book/after-evangelicalism-the-path-to-a-new-christianity/Worldview Theory, Whiteness, and the Future of Evangelical Faith:https://www.amazon.com/Worldview-Theory-Whiteness-Future-Evangelical/dp/197870819X?asin=197870819X&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: soyouredeconstructing.comEdited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: youhavepermissionpod.comJoin Dan's email list: dankochwords.comArtwork by sprungle.co/ Hosted on Acast.
