Plus: The Croatian Six and the new bid to clear their names
| | | | Why Biden's Christianity looks so different to Trump's |
|
| "You can't speak negative things … because it somehow brings them into being." That's how expert Luke Bretherton characterises Donald Trump's style of Christianity — what he calls "a kind of prosperity theology".
Trump and Joe Biden both call themselves Christians, but their relationship to faith and Christian voters has been very different.
And now that Biden has taken office, we might see this playing out across a range of issues, from abortion and gender rights to the response to COVID-19, as religion reporter Siobhan Marin explains.
Plus, this weekend we kick off our special debut radio broadcast of the award-winning series, No Feeling Is Final, on All In The Mind. It's a memoir from "professional feeler of feelings" Honor Eastly, about her experience trying to figure out big stuff — like why life is worth living.
Until next time,
Rosie Ryan, digital editor
