Battling Protestants is an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and David Hollinger, Preston Hotchkis Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley. The conversation explores the unique role that different strands of religion have played in 20th-century American culture and examines intriguing aspects of the distinction between Ecumenical and Evangelical Protestantism, the often overlooked role of Ecumenical Protestantism in the history of the USA, secularization theory, the development of the two-party system, the role of missionaries, and more.
This conversation will be released in a carefully-edited video format. Available now is an enhanced book developed from the conversation, while David Hollinger is also featured in six short documentaries – all details are below.
“Howard does his homework and knows the right questions to ask, while knowing when to talk and when to be quiet. The result is that the ideas I have tried to get out there really are out there. If someone wants an efficient way to get my take on the issues I’ve been working on lately, I’m glad to refer her to my Ideas Roadshow conversation.” – David Hollinger
