Description:

In this episode of Gospelbound, Collin Hansen talks with James Davison Hunter about his book, Democracy and Solidarity: On the Cultural Roots of America's Political Crisis, where Hunter argues that America's political crisis is rooted in cultural divisions rather than just political differences. 

They discuss:

  • how a loss of shared values has led to a lack of solidarity and the rise of identity politics
  • growing resentment on both sides, the left and right
  • the need for Christians to adopt a "faithful presence" in culture rather than seeking political power
  • the value for deep engagement and courageous leadership in these challenging times
