Religion has profoundly influenced the sweeping American narrative, perhaps more than any other force in our history, from the time of the Indigenous Peoples to the present day. The National Museum of American Religion tells the surprising and compelling story of what religion has done to America and what America has done to religion, including the establishment of the revolutionary and indispensable idea of religious freedom as defined by U.S. Constitution: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.' The museum invites all people to explore the role of religion in shaping the social, political, economic, and cultural lives of Americans and thus America itself.Join us as we follow scholars and others deep into America's religious history and learn how it can inform and animate us as citizens grappling with complex questions of governance and American purpose in the 21st century.

William Marrion Branham (A.K.A. William Marvin Branham, 1907-1965) was a Pentecostal minister from Jeffersonville, Indiana credited by some as initiating the Post WWII Healing Revival. He is widely recognized for playing a leading role in the formation of the Latter Rain, Word of Faith, Manifest Sons of God, and New Apostolic Reformation movements.  Some have gone so far as to label Branham as 'God's General', fully unaware of the critical information concerning Branham's ministry and the multiple conflicting stage personas Branham used for self-promotion as a self-proclaimed prophet.This podcast walks listeners through time, examining the histories of not only William Branham but also the men who worked with Branham, created his stage personas, and promoted his ministry.  All research material can be found on william-branham.org.

Simply stated, religion matters. Religion matters not only for personal reasons, but also for social, economic, political, and military purposes. Unfortunately, studies suggest that religious knowledge and cultural literacy for any religious tradition is either in decline or is non-existent in the United States, despite being one of the most religiously diverse nation on earth. Today, religion is implicated in nearly every major national and international issue. The public arena is awash in religious explanations and arguments for nearly every issue. The goal of The Classical Ideas Podcast is to empower students with the core knowledge of major world religions to improve citizenship and agency in a diverse society. Welcome to the show! more
