Evangelicalism in One Lifetime: A Conversation with Os Guinness
This is Thinking in Public, a program dedicated to intelligent conversation about frontline theological and cultural issues with the people who are shaping them. I’m Albert Mohler, your host and President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
For decades now Os Guinness has been on the front lines as an evangelical author, speaker, and also as social analyst. He holds the Doctor of Philosophy degree in social sciences from Oxford University. He’s also a founder of the Trinity Forum Society and has served as a guest scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies and as a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institute. He’s author or editor of more than 30 books, including A Free People’s Suicide: Sustainable Freedom and the American Future that was a topic of a previous Thinking in Public conversation. His most recent book is Fool’s Talk: Recovering the Art of Christian Persuasion. I’m very thankful today to have in the studio Os Guinness.
