UNG professor on Charlie Kirk’s ‘watch list’ reacts to his death, discusses ramifications of it

Posted by on in

During an NPR interview, Matthew Boedy, a University of North Georgia professor, discusses Charlie Kirk’s death and its implications for Christian nationalism.

Boedy, who was planning talk about these themes at his church, First Baptist of Gainesville, Sunday, but following Kirk’s assassination, says he will, instead, focus on the dangers of martyrdom in today’s divided society.

You can read excerpts of that interview, provided by WBUR, an NPR affiliate in Boston, here:
