Their disagreement has now spilled into the media. Why has this chapter of the Bible become the new dividing line between Christians in the public square? Kaityn interviews Tish Harrison Warren about her new book about Christian resilience and what disillusioned believers can learn from the desert mothers and fathers. And fifty years ago, the media declared 1976 the \"Year of the Evangelicals.\" The Holy Post crew discusses one historian's look back at that year and debates whether it was really the turning point for American evangelicalism.
