On the Posner Show, Sarah talks with Matt about Andrew Sullivan’s controversial cover story in Newsweek, “Christianity in Crisis.” (00:24) Matt believes Christianity is—and always is—in crisis (17:17) because evangelicals love a decline narrative. But he argues that politicized solutions (22:56) proposed by the religious right have been disastrous for the evangelical witness. Has Obama’s faith outreach (27:38) to younger evangelicals worked? Or will issues like abortion and same-sex marriage keep younger evangelicals in the Republican fold (33:38)? Finally: How legitimate are political arguments (40:39) based on religious belief?
