Christians, Kuyper, Politics, and Race - with Dr. Vincent Bacote

Bob Robinson

Feb 01, 2021

Transcript

Insurrectionists storming the Capitol and Rep. Josh Hawley, who supported those who stormed the Capitol, invoking the name of Abraham Kuyper. How can white evangelicals learn from this ugly chapter on America's history? What can we do, as we seek to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, to move forward?

As a Black man and an evangelical theology scholar, Dr. Vincent Bacote is able to help white Christians better navigate the nexus of evangelical culture, politics, theology, and race.

Vincent Bacote, PhD, is Associate Professor of Theology and the Director of Center for Applied Christian Ethics at Wheaton College.

Bacote's latest book is Reckoning with Race and Performing the Good News: In Search of a Better Evangelical Theology, published in November 2020 in the Brill Research Perspectives series. He is also the author of The Political Disciple: A Theology of Public Life.

How can we overcome the disconnect between our Sunday faith and the rest of our week?

Every week, join David Loughney and Dr. Bob Robinson as they discuss the joys and frustrations of reintegrating every aspect of life with their faith and interview thought leaders and practitioners who are doing it. Bob is in his 50s and David is in his 20s, so they offer an engaging dialogue from different generational vantage points.

If you desire insights into how to live an integrated Christian life, one in which you can better experience Jesus Christ and participate in what God’s doing in the world, this is the podcast for you.
