Public Theologians
Christian theology animates leftist political action. A conversation among socialists, the Christian Left, fellow travelers and beloved comrades.
Aaron Griffith - God's Law and Order (Part 1 of 2)
Part 1 of 2
Dr. Aaron Griffith discusses his book God's Law and Order: The Politics of Punishment in Evangelical America. Aaron and Casey discuss the influence of 20th century Evangelicals (a la Billy Graham and a little Johnny Cash) and the rise of the carceral state in the US. We get into the particulars of the developing focus on individual redemption, oftentimes (but not always!) to the exclusion of systemic reform and we flesh out some connections to current abolitionist movements as well as conservative Christianity.
