Straight White American Jesus

A podcast on religion and politics hosted by Daniel Miller and Bradley Onishi, ex-ministers who are now scholars of religion.

Evangelicals and Inoculation

Brad discusses the “re-open” protests happening at state capitols through the historical episode of the Puritans and their protests to inoculation efforts during a smallpox outbreak in 1721. The historical parallels shed light on why many are motivated to protest in God’s name and reveal how fear and anxiety are at the root of backlash against the medical community, secular authorities, and science.
