Episode Summary

In this episode, I got to interview Dr. Nathan Finn. Dr. Finn is the Executive Director at the Institute for Transformational Leadership, Professor of Faith and Culture at North Greenville University, and the author of many books including, Historical Theology for the Church. Co-edited with Jason G. Duesin. He serves as a Senior Fellow for Religious Liberty for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, a Senior Fellow for the Land Center for Faith and Culture, a Fellow for the Bush Center for Faith and Culture, and a Fellow for the Center for Baptist Renewal. He also directs student and faculty programs for the International Alliance for Christian Education (IACE) and is a senior editor of Integration: A Journal for Faith and Learning. We discussed a chapter in the book, Social Conservatism for the Common Good by David S. Dockery. In this chapter, David Dockery writes about Robert P. George’s political theory and how it relates to cobelligerency. We talk about Protestants partnering with Catholics in pursuit of a political common good, Billy Graham and his impact on Christian unity and fellowship, and how one can come to practical political partnerships without forsaking their orthodox Christian conviction.
