Episode 0: Diana Butler Bass

<p>In this very first episode of <em>Powers &amp; Principalities </em>(termed Episode 0, because it acts as a bridge between this show &amp; <a href="https://anchor.fm/exvangelical"><em>Exvangelical</em></a><em>), </em>I talk with Diana Butler Bass about the early history of fundamentalism in white evangelical Protestant Christianity in America. <em> </em>The conversation went surprising places, and while I expected to provide a survey-style overview of the development of white evangelicalism, once we got to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopes_Trial">Scopes Monkey Trial</a> we ended up talking about cycles of trauma and shame. </p><br/><p>Diana Butler Bass is the author of several books, including <em>Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks (</em><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/11130/9780062659484"><em>Bookshop.org</em></a><em>, </em><a href="https://amzn.to/3avFCAB"><em>Amazon</em></a><em>*)</em>.
