Confessional Protestants Are Square
About this episode
The episode discusses confessional Protestant piety in relation to the purity culture of the 1990s and 2000s.
The pudcast returns with consideration of confessional Protestant piety in relation to the purity culture that ran in evangelical circles during the 1990s and 2000s. The co-hosts, Anglican Miles Smith , Lutheran Korey Maas , and Presbyterian D. G. Hart discuss in particular two recent defenses of an evangelical subculture that developed in reaction to a society that pastors and parents thought was hostile to serious Christian devotion. Trevin Wax's " We Were Jesus Freaks " and Samuel D. James' "T he New Purity Culture " not only defend a form of separation from the cultural mainstream (without becoming Amish), but document a form of piety that ran strong in certain sectors of evangelicalism and may or may not dovetail with Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Anglican forms of devotion.
