Much as it abandoned working class politics at least a generation ago, the political left abandoned theology to the detriment of not only itself but America as a project. So let's pick it up again. And what better place to start than the only Christian theology that matters in the 21st Century: Liberation Theology. A&E discuss, referencing James H. Cone, Homebrewed Christianity, Kanye West, and Jay Bakker. Plus: Fight Club.

Whether the subject in question is democracy, climate change, biomedical engineering, or the American university, it is clear that the society we have known will soon no longer be.

We hope you will join in the conversation.
