The Promise and Peril of Christian Conversion w/ Elizabeth Oldfield

The past few years have brought an interesting revival of religious discourse in the public square. From Jordan Peterson’s biblical lectures to novelist Sally Rooney’s Jesus-curious millennials and historian Tom Holland’s positive reassessment of Christendom, Dominion, erstwhile secular rationalists are suddenly interested in a 2,000 year old religion. There’s even been a number of high-profile conversions (or in some cases, reversions) to Christianity from people like Nick Cave and, most recently, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. What, exactly, is going on? Many of these narratives of Christian discovery and return are being coded as just another example of the hard-right turn in politics— away from multiculturalism and freedom and toward a dream of a simpler, easier, and perhaps less kind and tolerant past. And while that may be true to some extent, it’s not the whole story. How can deeply spiritual people (whether Christian or not) orient toward this? I reached out to the wise and delightful Elizabeth Oldfield to get a handle on the current moment. She’s the host of the podcast ‪@thesacredpodcast‬ writes the substack Fully Alive, and is the former director of Theos, a think tank in the UK that studies religion and spirituality. Paid Substack subscribers get a 25 min bonus segment where we re-assess the sexual revolution and talk about what it looks like to navigate an ethic between fundamentalist purity culture and free-for-all libertinism.
