In this episode, Julie and Jarad try to understand how what we believe about belief affects theology and society at large. How does a belief system that rejects doubt lead to authoritarianism? Should Jarad get a prophet robe to go with his flowing hair? Join us for the discussion.

Sources for this week's discussion—we used these sources more for thinking than discussion this week, but these are all good reads:

New Research Reveals the Limits of Christian Evangelicalism in American Society - Arizona Christian University

Escaping the Evangelical Cult - Keith Giles, Patheos

Cults as Power Structures - excerpted from Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive Relationships by Janja Lalich and Madeleine Tobias (Bay Tree Publishing). It is posted at Apologetics Index by permission.
