Kurt Andersen and his guest, religion professor Randall Balmer talk about art and entertainment by Evangelical Christians that is entering mainstream culture. We hear go-go funk musicians and South Jersey rockers sing the gospel their way. And we visit a Christian bookstore to explore the phenomenon of the Left Behind series — 55 million copies sold about the end of the world.
