Event Description
Wheaton College's Center for Applied Christian Ethics (CACE) hosts a lecture titled "Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics."
Ross Douthat, the youngest op-ed columnist in the history of The New York Times, will deliver the lecture with the same title as his newest book Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics (Free Press, 2012). He will lecture on topics within his book, including charting institutional Christianity's course from a vigorous, mainstream, and bipartisan faith through the culture wars of the 1960s and 1970s to the polarizing debates of the present day.
Douthat is also the author of Privilege: Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class (Hyperion, 2005) and the co-author, with Reihan Salam, of Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream (Doubleday, 2008). He is the film critic for National Review.
The lecture is part of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics' Spring Conference titled "Facing Tough Questions."
