Evangelical Debate

One of the coolest features on Slate are the email debates. Two people email back and forth a few times debating some topic. A recent one, not quite finished, yet, is between Hanna Rosin and David Kuo. Rosin just wrote a book called God's Harvard about an evangelical Christian college, Patrick Henry, that prepares its students to be advocates of Christ especially in politics. Kuo worked for George W. Bush as director of the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives and wrote a book about that and his experience dealing with the Religious Right.

Their debate is about Rosin's book and her claim that evangelicals are pushing for a Christian theocracy. It is well worth the read.
