In this episode, Faithful Host Pastor Josh Burtram interviews Scott M. Coley, a lecturer in philosophy, about his forthcoming book 'Ministers of Propaganda, Truth and Power and the Ideology of the Religious Right.' The conversation delves into the relationship between evangelicalism and right-wing politics, exploring the concept of ideology, motivated reasoning, and the hermeneutics of legitimization. Coley provides insights into the use of scripture to justify social arrangements and the impact of institutional justice on political philosophy. The conversation delves into the interpretation of sacred texts, motivated literalism, and the paradigm of authority and submission within conservative evangelicalism. It also explores the impact of authoritarianism and the political right on democratic institutions. The discussion emphasizes the need for critical thinking, questioning, and understanding of the logic behind religious and political ideologies.
