How Empire Robbed the Church of Incarnation (THINGS HIDDEN 231)

David Gornoski and Surit Dasgupta discuss how modern-day culture seems to be incompatible with earnestness, why Dracula is more haunted by Christ than most conservative personalities, why the 21 Coptic martyrs are more effective than any "right thinking" Christian, how most Orthodox Christians are driven by scapegoating, what it means to love God, and more.
