Description
This timely series will examine the disturbing theocratic tremors that are shaking our culture and government today. "Theocracy" describes a state governed by the religious tenets and jurisprudence of a terribly narrowed religion. Â Â Â
We will seek to understand the wellsprings of  theocratic movements in general and to understand the distortions of religion that energize them. But our primary focus will be on theocracy in America.Â
Along the way we'll ask how supposedly vanquished "cultural standards" like white supremacy, patriarchy, hatred, and armed violence were reborn for many as 21st-century values. Â Â Â Â
And at every turn we will see more clearly why an American theocracy is bound to fail.
