Episode 74: Will The Real Evangelicals Please Stand Up?! with Dr. David Buschart - Part 2
Summary: <p>Part 2!</p><br> <p>While the word, "evangelical," may come across as a bad word in many western circles, nobody can deny that the evangelical movement has been a powerful force within the United States on many levels throughout the years. On episode 74 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Dr. David Buschart, associate dean and professor of theology and historical studies at Denver Seminary, speaks about Evangelicals and Evangelicalism: “Who are ‘Evangelicals’ and What Do (and Don’t) They Believe”... <br>· This idea is prompted by the near-blizzard of references to “evangelicals” in mainstream media during and since the presidential election season.<br>· In an irenic spirit, Dr. Buschart offers a description of some of the history and (more) the theological beliefs of evangelicals. Buschart brings something of “an insider’s” perspective. In the process, he describes and acknowledges the diversity within and some of the weaknesses of evangelicalism, while giving an affirmative presentation of what evangelicalism at its best—not every individual person or church—is.</p><br> <p dir="ltr">This is Part 2 of a 2 part conversation with Dr. Buschart.</p><br> <p dir="ltr">If you dig this episode and/or other Brew Theology shows, give this episode a share on the interwebs, rate Brew Theology on iTunes, etc. and give BT a brewtastic review! </p><br> <p dir="ltr">Head over to the Brew Theology website, <a href="http://www.brewtheology.org/">www.brewtheology.org </a>to become a local partner, sponsor or contributor.
