Thinking in Public The third season of “Thinking in Public” began in September. In the first episode, host R. Albert Mohler Jr. talks with Stephen Prothero, a Boston University religion professor, about his new book, The American Bible. Mohler: Speaking to American evangelicals, and speaking as one with a unique position and with unique expertise to view us from afar, how do you see us fitting into America? And, what do you think will be a great challenge for evangelical Christians moving into the future?

Prothero:
One of the challenges is Mitt Romney. Evangelicals have largely voted Republican in recent years; they did so with gusto when President Bush ran
because Bush was one of their own. One of the interesting challenges for evangelical voters is the question, “Is Mormonism Christian?” Is Romney a Christian? Are evangelicals going to support a non-Christian candidate because he shares more values with them than does the Christian candidate? I have asked my evangelical friends how that works out: “Are you willing to vote for a guy who may not be a Christian?” Or does it mean that in the political realm you care about political things, and in the religious realm you care about religious things? That’s not a proclamation, but more of a question or a challenge about which side of the hat are the evangelicals pointing toward – is it the political or theological?
Thinking in Public is the interview-based podcast hosted by Southern Seminary President R. Albert Mohler Jr.
