Description
We often associate fundamentalism with strict religious beliefs and practices. But David French says fundamentalism isn’t really about what someone believes, but how they believe it. He talks to Skye Jethani about the three traits that mark every form of fundamentalism—including the non-religious variety: certainty, ferocity, and solidarity. They unpack the legitimate desires that draw people into fundamentalism, and what’s happening in American culture that may be driving more people to embrace the extremes of fundamentalism on both the right and left. Plus, they share the antidotes that can protect us from this trend. 0:00 - Sponsor - World Relief - Visit https://worldrelief.org/holypost/ to download your family refugee guide and learn more about the Path Community 1:17 - Theme Song 1:34 - Characteristics of Fundamentalism 34:34 - Why Fundamentalism is Growing 48:34 - Free Speech and College Campuses 1:08:38- End Credits Other resources: David French: https://twitter.com/DavidAFrench Why Fundamentalists Love Trump https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/07/opinion/donald-trump-fundamentalists-evangelical.html https://www.holypost.com/ Support us and find premium content by going to https://www.patreon.com/holypost The Holy Post is supported by our listeners.
