    #72 What is Evangelicalism? - with Mark Noll

    The first in our mini-series on Exvangelicalism. It makes sense to start by asking what Evangelicalism is! Professor Mark Noll is one of the world’s leading experts on the history of Evangelicalism. In this interview, we ask him questions like: When did Evangelicalism begin? How has the word “Evangelical” changed its meaning over time? Why have people abandoned Evangelicalism in the past? Thanks to Jamie Maule for sound engineering!

    #71 What is Exvangelicalism?

    Over 400 million people in the world are classed as Evangelicals. In the USA, their association with the Republican Party has led to a lot of people rejecting the label and yet remaining quasi-Evangelical in their spirituality. Since 2016 they have come to be known as “Exvangelicals” or “Post-Evangelicals.” Who are they and why are they significant for global Christianity? How are they putting pressure on the term “Evangelical” and contributing to its changing meaning? This episode launches the next mini-series which is all about these questions! Thanks to Jamie Maule for his sound editing!

    #68 Colonialism with Willie James Jennings

    What is colonialism and how should white Western Christians think about their own involvement in it? How do we respond, whether Christian or not, to the trajectories of power laid down by our colonial past? Prof. Willie James Jennings is one of the leading voices in postcolonial theology. We are hono(u)red to have him join us in our first discussion on this thorny topic. Thanks to Jamie Maule for his sound editing!

    Our second episode on religious violence, with Dr. Matthew Rowley , author of God, Religious Extremism, and Violence.

    #66 Religious Violence - with William Cavanaugh

    Does religion cause violence? It's a common notion today, but Professor William Cavanaugh challenges it in an incisive way. Who stands to gain from this idea? Who benefits from laying the blame for violence at the feet of religion? And what definition of 'religion' is operative here? Thanks to Jamie Maule for editing this video!

    #65 Improvising church to face challenges of today - with Mark Glanville

    An interlude (sort of) in the middle of our present series. It does not address a historical challenge, but starts from the other end. What can Christians do today in responding to these challenges? Barney interviews Professor Mark Glanville of Regent College, Vancouver, on his latest book, Improvising Church. We discuss questions like: How can the Bible speak meaningfully to new situations Christians face today? How can every Christian exercise leadership in his or her church community? How can you get people to wake up for a prayer meeting at 5:30am? Thanks to Jamie Maule for his audio editing!
