Tim Alberta, author of The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism, joins Uncommontary host Marty Duren in a conversation about what he learned in the four years he spent researching his book.
Tim Alberta is an award-winning journalist, best-selling author, and staff writer for The Atlantic magazine. He formerly served as chief political correspondent for POLITICO. Tim attended Schoolcraft College and later Michigan State University, where his plans to become a baseball writer were changed by a stint covering the legislature in Lansing. He went on to spend more than a decade in Washington, reporting for publications including the Wall Street Journal, The Hotline, National Journal and National Review.
He joined The Atlantic in March 2021 with an assignment to keep roaming and writing and telling stories that strike at the heart of America’s discontent. His work has been featured in dozens of other publications nationwide, including Sports Illustrated and Vanity Fair. His first book, American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump, debuted at #1 on the Washington Post bestseller list and at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list. As of this writing, Alberta’s second book, The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism, which releases on December 5, 2023, is the best selling book in Amazon.com’s Sociology & Religion category.
