Frank Schaeffer talks with sociologist Michael O. Emerson about the updated edition of Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America.

They discuss why racial division inside white evangelical culture has intensified over the last 25 years, how Christian nationalism reshaped American politics, and why churches often failed to confront segregation while other institutions succeeded.

Frank also shares personal reflections on growing up in Francis Schaeffer’s community in Switzerland and living in apartheid South Africa.

A grounded conversation about race, religion, power, memory, and the America we built.
