8The past four years, culminating in the assault on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, brought to the surface deep divisions in our country and in faith communities. In this volume a diverse group of religious scholars and activists assess the impact and the lessons of the Trump era, the future of democracy, and the challenges facing the faith community. Topics include fractured truth in post-Trump America; the critical role of Black women; the tension between democracy and "whiteness"; environmental violence; racism and Black Lives Matter; ministry in a divided church and nation; Islamophobia and anti-Semitism; Catholic faith in the public square; and the future of Evangelical Christianity.
