Things get downright puritanical when Kyle and Ethan talk to Dustin Benge and Nate Pickowicz about their new book The American Puritans. Dustin is Provost and lecturer at Union School of Theology and Nate is pastor of Harvest Bible Church. Dustin and Nate talk about the inspiration that they draw today from the lives of these men and women and their religious movement in church history while Kyle and Ethan try to figure out why someone would name their kid 'If-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned' and whether it's true that Puritans invented tablecloths to cover up scandalous table legs.
