Show notes
On today's episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Dr. Joe Boot are joined by Ezra Fellow Dr. P. Andrew Sandlin for the first episode of our summer series concerning the relationship between Christianity and the State. In this episode, they focus on the concepts of reformation and revolution. They explore historical "revolutions," including the English, American, French, and Sexual and their implications for modern society. The good doctors advocate for the need of a new Spirit-wrought biblical Reformation founded upon the authority of God's Word.
