Can Christianity Save Democracy? Os Guinness v Jonathan Rauch hosted by ...

Can Christianity save democracy? Vince Vitale hosts a frank, generous exchange between social critic Os Guinness and author Jonathan Rauch about faith’s civic foundations, liberalism, and power. This is one we’ve been looking forward to! Rauch, a scientific materialist, argues that democracy needs Christianity’s deepest teachings; Guinness locates America’s virtues in the Hebrew–Christian tradition. Don’t miss the most moving moment: around the hour mark, Guinness turns to Rauch and apologises without caveat for the ways Christians have treated gay people like him. Rauch receives it with grace, and the room changes. It’s a rare, exemplary act of repentance that models the public virtue both men commend. Is religion necessary for public virtue? What happens when politics replaces moral conviction? And how can Christians engage civically without being captured by partisan extremes? From the founding ideals of democracy to the spiritual crises of modern secularism, this discussion asks whether Christianity’s values of conscience, humility, and truth are exactly what our societies need most.

12 Biblical Archaeological Discoveries You've Never Heard Of Before with...

What are some of the most recent archaeological discoveries that confirm or corroborate what the Bible says? Archaeologist Dr. Titus Kennedy joins Frank to uncover groundbreaking evidence that connects ancient artifacts to real people, places, and events mentioned in Scripture. Together they explore questions like: -- What makes the ancient city of Zoar so significant? -- Is there any archaeological evidence for Sodom and Gomorrah? -- What does the “Nomads of Yahweh” inscription reveal about Israel’s early history? -- Why is there ongoing disagreement about when the Exodus occurred? -- What did Titus recently discover inside Amenhotep II’s tomb? -- What is Joel Kramer's favorite archaeological discovery from the Old Testament? -- What seven people associated with the crucifixion of Jesus have archaeological evidence? -- Is the Vatican in the right spot? -- What archaeological proof exists for figures like Isaiah, Uzziah, Hezekiah, King David, Peter, Paul, and Jesus? Get ready to literally and figuratively dig up the Bible as Frank and Titus reveal how archaeology continues to validate Scripture and challenge secular skepticism.
