Evangelicalism and Power Politics

Rick Wilson's The Enemies List

This week on The Enemies List, Rick is joined by Tim Alberta, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the new book "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism." Together, they discuss the evolution of the evangelical movement, its increased political involvement, and its complex relationship with Trump's Republican Party. Alberta shares personal insights from his upbringing in an evangelical family and his observations as a political writer, highlighting key historical moments and cultural shifts within the movement. The conversation provides a critical perspective on the role of evangelicalism in shaping the current political landscape.

Tim's new book, "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism" available now.
