Interview on “The Death of Protestant America”

By now, most of us have read Joseph Bottum’s latest article entitled “The Death of Protestant America: A Political Theory of the Protestant Mainline.” (At least I hope we have.) For those of us out there who haven’t yet found the time, however, don’t fear. We’ve made it one of this month’s bonus articles, so it is available on our website without a subscription.

And since we’ve already gotten so much feedback about the article, Joseph was so kind as to give an interview about it to our very own R. R. Reno, features editor at First Things and professor of theological ethics at Creighton University.

The entire interview can be listened to below, but, if you have an iPod with video capabilities, you could even take the interview with you on your next jog. Just go to the interview’s page on Google video and follow the download instructions. Enjoy!
