Daniel, this would make for excellent content on the show, Monday. Can we plan to discuss Tim Alberta's book but also the observations about Christian othering?
I've long since left Twitter but remember Daws very well, sadly lazily grouping together a bunch of books he hasn't read to throw red meat to his followers sounds entirely in character for him. I listen to Schiess regularly on her podcast and she doesn't harp on Trump or how awful evangelicals are at all, rather that we should engage locally as opposed to consuming media. I guess the one thing all these books have in common is that they in some way advocate changing the evangelical approach to politics that has been tried the last 50 years and is self evidently falling apart.
You do have a good point about othering. I do think Alberta would be more than happy to take that criticism based on the book and interviews he's given about it. The book does end on a hopeful note that did help, halfway through the book it was one of the most depressing books I've ever read!
