Episode 4: Denim Jumpers and 15-Passenger Vans: Christian Nationalism and the Cult of Fertility

Описание: Fertility cults: they're one of the oldest and most persistent forms of idolatry today. In this episode, we'll see how a modern version of the cult of fertility - eugenics - was syncretized with American Christianity at the beginning of the 20th century, and how this unholy marriage finds expression in the contemporary "Quiverfull" movement, where large families are the key to Christian nationalist ambitions. We'll also see how a better understanding of Genesis 3:15 - the first announcement of the gospel - reveals Jesus as the "Seed of the woman" who really can save the world.
