The Week After: Post-Election Series Introduction

November 15, 2016 by Joshua Wu Leave a Comment

The election is over. Now what? In this series, I will use Romans 12 to frame reflections of this presidential campaign and hopefully encourage us to live faithfully as we return to the “ordinary time” of the American political calendar. Editor's note: For previous statistical analysis and nonpartisan political reflection from Josh's expertise, see this link. … [Read more...] about The Week After: Post-Election Series Introduction

Engaging the Election: What Predicts Evangelical Approval/Disapproval of Clinton?

July 29, 2016 by Joshua Wu Leave a Comment
