Liberalism’s Identity Crisis

‘Everything hinges on individualism.’

In another counterprogramming edition of The Remnant, Jonah Goldberg is joined by first-time guest Dr. Tomer Persico to discuss his forthcoming book In God’s Image: How Western Civilization Was Shaped by a Revolutionary Idea. Persico explains how the equality of the created individual serves as the bedrock for the Western world and explores its implications for liberalism, the separation of church and state, and atheism.

Jonah Goldberg is editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Dispatch, based in Washington, D.C. Prior to that, enormous lizards roamed the Earth. More immediately prior to that, Jonah spent two decades at National Review, where he was a senior editor, among other things. He is also a bestselling author, longtime columnist for the Los Angeles Times, commentator for CNN, and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. When he is not writing the G-File or hosting The Remnant podcast, he finds real joy in family time, attending to his dogs and cat, and blaming Steve Hayes for various things.
