he burst out laughing and said, did you say the name of your magazine was christianity today or christianity yesterday? and all room burst out laughing. he stood his ground and said christianity yesterday, today, and forever. this is a moment in which he stood up to the corrosive forces and asserted a place of the table for conservative protestants and talking about the future of christianity and its engagement. >> host: that was in 1960? >> guest: i think that's right . >> host: on the same battles still going on? >> guest: to some extent yes, and they have been going on for centuries. my book is kind of the back story to the rise of the christian right. it is really about what i call an intellectual civil war that has been going on among evangelicals, i would say, since the beginning of the movement in the aftermath of the reformation . in a kind of new and newly acute way in the years since world war ii. and each episode, each area is slightly different. i think that the conflict in the current generation of evangelicals, particularly under evangelicals are slightly different than the bat

and the tradition of christianity and the political power and suggesting that christians ought to be countercultural critics to speak truth to power rather than seeking an alliance with power. they are gradually accepting the fact that christians are becoming a minority. they are losing their control over the norms over the american culture. the consensus on the issues like marriage for example is shifting away from the teachings of the traditional churches. for the christian activists are realizing that they have to recalibrate. so you know what, our founding fathers are a minority witness in the pagan and roman context and we will do it again if we have to. >> do you consider yourself a christian or evangelical and does that matter? >> i am a bit unusual in the historians who focus on evangelical christianity, and then i do not personally identify with this tradition. my sense p6 and i haven't done it in a survey but my sense in just reading the literature and knowing my colleagues is that the vast majority of the scholars who study evangelicals are themselves professing evangelica

christian wiman says people today are seeking a new language for speaking about god.anguage that goes beyond words, concepts or even doctrine, that taps into a genuine experience of the divine, what he calls "glimmers of god." >> if you ask me, do i get glimpses of god, yes, i get these glimmerings of intuitions, stronger than that really, where the existence of god seems to me absolute. we all go through our lives and then suddenly we'll have a moment when we think, i have faith right now in something. i find that i've had these moments in my life when i have been overcome by what i only know to call god. think of the atoms inside the stone. think of the man who sits alone trying to will himself into the stillness where god goes belonging. in my experience, the artists that i know, even though they wouldn't call themselves christians, some would, but they are the ones who are fighting to remake some kind of language to connect us with the ineffable, with the divine. if we think that metaphor is how we talk of god, and that seems to me very hard to dispute that there'

now, as a christian, our role is to follow jesus, who spoke no words, but how do you build trust in a situation like that? >> over the years we ask christian leaders have been trying to bring in the gospel text that -- if you're struck on the left cheek, you should turn the right one, be able to pacify, not to go into reappraisal. >> turn the other cheek. >> accept us willingly. we are asking us for how long. that is the problem. we have been able to do that before how long? so the government needs to dig desis -- takes decisive steps in making sure this -- >> the government, the church communities, there's so much here, father, the fact you're here, wearing the collar means you have given your whole life for this cause, you're speaking with your whole life. >> yes. >> we could talk for hours. we can't. it's such a short show so, father theo, if you want to see father theo, you would probably have to go to saint brendon's in san francisco. take a short break and have you back in a little bit to recap. >> thank you, chris. >> thank you, father. god bless. >>> welcome back to mosaic. i'

that understanding has both christian and classical greek intellectual roots. embodying that understanding in state craft, of course, was a, was and continues to be a struggle both intellectual and moral. the clearest elaboration of the proposition that the natural end of state craft is peace, of course, is a christian one. you see it in, of course, most clearly jesus' rely to pilate about his kingdom, his kingdom, he said, is not of this world. jesus -- god's kingdom is not of this world. st. augustin elaborated that point. christians, he said, should be indifferent to the fate of the roman empire because the fate of individual souls is far more important than what happens to any group of people. hence, the primacy in christian thought of peace which is the condition most conducive to men pursuing their highest potentiality, the highest purpose of which they're capable; namely, contemplation of service to god. in the same way, greek thought disposes us to follow what it understands to be man's naturally highest and most peculiar purpose. that is also to be pur

i examine the christian identity movement. this is a religious sect that has gained popularity in the american extreme right subculture. christian identity is a religion that has its origins in something known as british israel is a which first gained popularity in england in the 19th century. this creates positive people of northwestern europe are the true descendents of the 10 lost tribes of israel. in the early 20th century the sect found its way to america and that later metamorphosed into christian identity. so this cold has an apocalyptic eschatology in which armageddon is framed in racialist terms. and this theology has served as an inspiration for some of the most violent members of the extreme right. some elements of the christian identity movement have been involved in the radical pro-life movement such as eric rudolph. eric rudolph was a young man. he drifted in and out of white supremacist groups before embarking on his one man campaign of violence. aaron winter examine history of extreme antiabortion activism in t
