Book Discussion of "The Better Angels of Our Nature" and "The Patient Ferment of the Early Church‪"‬ The Books We Read

Jaran and Reagan are back to talk about Steven Pinker’s "The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined" and Alan Kreider's "The Patient Ferment of the Early Church: The Improbable Rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire." You might hear us being unsure what to do with the arguments in these books. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
