Playful Banter and Theological Retreats

This episode was a real treat. Ronald Stone, from the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, is on the podcast to talk about Christian identity and the renewal of Christian realism. Ronald studied with Niebuhr at Union Theological Seminary and was interested in politics and religion, social ethics, and social action from early on.

Tripp and Ronald talk about:

• what it means to be a Christian realist today
• the roots of realism, its critics, and its revival.
• the religion and politics of the election
• American exceptionalism, and the economy

Plus, make sure you stick around to the end of the interview to hear Ronald's stories about his experience with Niebuhr and Tillich.
