    Postmodern Realities Episode 402: Blessings and Liberty: The Politics and Religion of David French

    Postmodern Realities Episode 402: Blessings and Liberty: The Politics and Religion of David French

    This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Anne Kennedy about her online article, which is part of her ongoing Column Series, Theological Trends ,  entitled “Blessings and Liberty: The Politics and Religion of David French”.  This particular article is also a Viewpoint article. Viewpoint articles address relevant contemporary issues in discernment and apologetics from a particular perspective that is usually not shared by all Christians, with the intended result that Christians’ thinking on that issue will be stimulated and enhanced (whether or not people end up agreeing with the author’s opinion). https://www.equip.org/articles/blessings-and-liberty-the-politics-and-religion-of-david-french/

    Editors’ Note: Although the Christian Research Institute is a non-political, non-partisan organization, an intersection exists between politics, the public square, and a biblically grounded articulation and defense of the historic Christian faith. For more than 45 years, the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL has addressed a wide variety of issues within this intersection, especially concerning Christian ethics informed by Christian orthodoxy, including the sanctity of life (abortion, reproductive technologies, euthanasia), marriage, sexuality, LGBTQ matters, war, religious freedom, and other biblically relevant topics of our times. Anne Kennedy’s insightful commentary on the writings and influence of the evangelical political commentator David French aligns well within the JOURNAL’S purview.

Very thoughtful

I’ve listened to two episodes so far. I love how thoughtful the conversation is on controversial issues. Really focuses on understanding scripture and living life in light of that.

Thought provoking and informative

As a Christian living in this secular everything goes world, this podcast helps one decipher sound principles over misleading worldly messaging.

Thought provoking ways to share Christ

Being brought up where everything secular was wrong, Melanie and her guests help me find the positive in this world. Her and her guests open up new ways for me to use pop culture as a tool for sharing Christ. As of late the reading of CRI articles has been very good as well. I drive a lot for work and don’t always have time to read them. I find myself sharing many of the podcasts with friends. Keep up the good work and I am proud to stand side by side with CRI.
