Dr. Michael Fn. Bird is deputy principal and Lecturer in Theology at Ridley College in Melbourne, Australia, and has authored more than 30 books. Mike is a world renown New Testament scholar and theologian, and he's recently engaged modern questions surrounding politics and Christian identity, which has been captured in his more recent book Religious Freedom in a Secular Age, which forms the backdrop to our current podcast conversation. In this dialogue, we talk about evangelicals and politics, Christian Nationalism, Secularism (and why Christians should celebrate it), transgender ideologies and the public sphere, and many other politically related topics.
