You Can Call Him Al

The guest on this week’s Al Franken podcast is Tim Alberta, author of the book “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory,” about evangelicals in an Age of Extremism.  Al notes that the “profoundly disturbing book” helps explain “how evangelicals have been turned into a political tool for the Republican Party. Alberta grew up in the evangelical wing of the Presbyterian Church and watched as they turned their back on him after he criticized Donald Trump. How did the evangelical church turn so far towards right wing politics? What exactly is an evangelical? How can those voters ever be won back?”
