Doug Wilson, Neo-Christendom, and Reclaiming America: Why?

Doug Wilson and the Reformed movement around Moscow, Idaho are now mainstream news, and the pull has reached Mennonite churches. Jaran Miller, one of the founders of Anabaptist Perspectives, explores why this is happening. Who is Doug Wilson? What does he teach? Why is Reformed theology appealing to some Mennonites? In this episode, we also hear from other voices, including Landon Miller, who explains why he left the Mennonite church and joined Doug Wilson’s church. Titus Keufper also contributes to the conversation. Titus once debated Doug Wilson, and he explains why he believes Reformed teaching is appealing to some Anabaptists.
