Crawford Gribben, author of the book 'Survival and Resistance in Evangelical America: Christian Reconstruction in the Pacific Northwest' (https://amzn.to/3tvPBPS), joins me for a discussion of movements downstream of Christian Reconstruction and the attraction and impact of Moscow, Idaho. He is also the author of the book 'The Rise and Fall of Christian Ireland', released earlier this week (https://amzn.to/2YODmmn).
