The interview is part of season 1 of Powers & Principalities, which is about white evangelicalism & Christian nationalism.

Robert Jones now writes a Substack publication with the same name, White Too Long. Subscribe here:

White Too Long by Robert P. Jones

A weekly newsletter by author Robert P. Jones. For those dedicated to the work of truth-telling, repair, and healing from the legacy of white supremacy in American Christianity.

Interview description:

My guest is Robert Jones, founder and CEO of PRRI (The Public Religion Research Institute), and author of the recent book White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity (Amazon, Bookshop). In this discussion, we talk about how his book reveals the ways white American Christianity's history of white supremacy pervades all denominations - white evangelicals, mainline Protestants, and white Catholics. We discuss the "restricted moral vision" of white Christians, the findings of the Racism Index, and much more.
