The Fundamentalist Takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention

On this very special episode we dig into the takeover of the Southern Baptist convention and analyze how it is a preview our current right wing take over of the country as well as its juicy Left Behind connections.

Fascinating stuff.Here are the main sources that Jennifer used for her research:The Fundamentalist Takeover in the Southern Baptist Convention: A Brief History by Rob James and Gary Leazer with James ShoopmanShadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right by Anne Nelson, 2019 (new Afterword in 2021)The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism by Katherine Stewart, 2019 (updated in 2022) Hosted on Acast.
