A Christian in Public Life: Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

Christians have misused Scripture to consolidate power, stoke fears, and defend against enemies. But people who have been hurt by the attacks of Christian nationalism can help us rediscover God's vision for faith in public life.

Our guest Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove explores how religious culture wars have misrepresented Christianity at the expense of the poor, and how listening to marginalized communities can help us hear God's call to love and justice in the world.

He highlights people on the frontlines of issues ranging from immigration policy and voting rights to women's rights and environmental stewardship. 

We discuss his recent books, Reconstructing the Gospel, and Revolution of Values.
