Physical books are at once a conduit for conveying complex and well-developed ideas and an artifact of the time and place from which they come. While digital media has its place in social discourse, the book is an enduring piece of technology that has been one of the primary vehicles for shaping civilization. The Reading Wheel Review is an initiative designed to anchor sustained attention to books that truly matter, and to shape a substantive dialogue around them.

Ep. 15 | Interview with John D. Wilsey | Religious Freedom: A Conservative Primer
In this month’s episode of the Reading Wheel Review, Dr. John D. Wilsey, a senior fellow at the CRCD and professor at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, sits down with the CRCD’s director of research Dr. Jordan Ballor to discuss some of the key features of his recent book, Religious Freedom: A Conservative Primer. Conservatism is a contested perspective these days, and one that is often contrasted with liberalism. But as we will learn throughout the course of this discussion, understanding the right relationship between order and liberty is essential to defending a truly principled conservatism and religious freedom. Dr. John Wilsey’s primer is a worthwhile starting point for this endeavor.
