Social Conservatism for the Common Good

ALLIANCE OF CONFESSING EVANGELICALS
About this episode

After a brief discussion about craziness you can understand and craziness you can't, Carl and Todd get down to business talking to Andrew Walker, editor of the new book Social Conservatism for the Common Good. A collection of essays from high-profile evangelical writers and academics – including our very own Carl Trueman – the book focuses on the work of renowned catholic, social conservative thinker Robert George. 

We are grateful to our friends at Crossway Publishing for providing a few giveaway copies of his book for our listeners. Congratulations to Stephanie M. from Port Byron, IL, Carol R. from Centennial, CO, and Phil C. from Albany, NC!
