About Thinking in Public
Thinking in Public is the 'Cross-Examination' of modern culture. Its briefings are famous for their 'Academic Depth'—Dr. Mohler doesn't just talk to Christian authors; he interviews the world's leading secular historians, sociologists, and philosophers (like Francis Fukuyama or Tyler Cowen) about their work. It's unique for its 'Integrative Focus'; it attempts to understand the deep philosophical movements of the age from a specific worldview perspective. It is an essential read/listen for anyone who wants to see how deep theological conviction can engage rigorously and respectfully with the most complex intellectual challenges of the modern world.
