Episode Forty-Six // Conversation with Dr Sam Reimer

“In every aspect of the religious life, American faith has met American culture - and American culture has triumphed.” – Alan Wolfe

The above quote is from page 4 of Dr Sam Reimer’s fascinating new book, Caught In The Current. The book is his synthesis of a compilation of both quantitative data and qualitative surveys that he personally undertook, and it reveals a lot about how so-called “evangelicals” who live in Canada and the UK see themselves, the world around them, and the ideal and actual relationships between the two. In this conversation we barely scratch the surface, and so if you’re looking for more, I’d highly encourage you to pick up the book and dig in!

We fly through the idea of Bebbington’s Quadrilateral as a way of helping to define what exactly an “evangelical” is, but if you’d like to brush up some more on that, this is a helpful place to start… that, or perhaps this conversation I had last year with Sam’s co-worker and world-renowned authority on the topic, Dr John Stackhouse.
