Description

Why do so many white evangelicals, despite holding tremendous political power, feel threatened by feminism, LGBTQ progress, and movements for racial justice? Sarah Diefendorf, author of The Holy Vote: Inequality and Anxiety Among White Evangelicals, joins us to discuss how evangelicals’ anxieties shape their political involvement. We explore their image problem among people who are turned off by their reactions to societal changes, how they are recruiting new members to their churches, and how white evangelicals are responding to issues like Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ equality today.

As an extension of the online magazine the Revealer, this podcast explores the social and political roles religion plays throughout the world. How should we make sense of religion's influence on politics, sexuality, race, and people's everyday lives? Produced by NYU's Center for Religion and Media and hosted by Dr. Brett Krutzsch, each month we'll sit down with experts to discuss how religion shapes our world. Join us for this important conversation.
