God in the Frontier (Episode 9) - Sifting Through The Burned-Over District (Part 1)
Manage episode 363585975 series 3460373
The final 4 episodes of God in the Frontier are about reflecting on what we learned over the first 8 episodes in the Burned-Over District. How does the Christian prism look to those who see it through the Calvinist wavelength compared to those who see it through an Evangelical one? And how does Evangelicalism impact the relationship between the United States and Israel today? Finally, what can 19th century Millerism teach us about blind faith even with the purest intentions? Religious exceptionalism, a core aspect of nearly all religions, comes under trial in this provocative episode. (9/12)
