Evangelical Christians are a diverse group with similar questions but vastly different answers. 

A new book by UNC-Chapel Hill history professor Molly Worthen looks at the history of modern evangelicalism.  Host Frank Stasio talks with Worthern about "Apostles of Reason” (Oxford University Press/2014) and how evangelical discord connects to current political polarity.
