The Falwell Plunge

Rev. Jerry Falwell took the final plunge last week and we'll examine his impact on politics and American culture.  How did he help define the Evangelical Christian movement and what has he left behind?  Jeff Sharlet, editor of The Revealer, lends us his expertise on the subject.

 

Susan Friend Harding experienced Falwell's power first-hand.  While conducting research on the Religious Right in the 1980s, she found herself in Lynchburg, Virginia, at Falwell's Liberty University.  It was there she "came under conviction" due to the persuasive language Falwell cultivated.  She'll tell us the stories that are detailed in her study The Book of Jerry Falwell: Fundamentalist Language and Politics.

Faith on Film: We travel behind the camera lens with Joel Engardio, producer and director of the documentary Knocking, a look at Jehovah's Witnesses.  What is and is not know about this often misunderstood faith?

 

And, we've got a major announcement about the future of State of Belief on Air America Radio.  We'll give you a hint: More, more, more.
