In two parts, Jacob Winograd, host of The Biblical Anarchy Podcast talks with Gregory Baus, co-host of the Reformed Libertarians Podcast, about several key issues in Reformed libertarianism.
The basis for believers’ distinctively Christian approach to cultural activity (including politics) is highlighted in its connection to Reformed covenant theology, from an orthodox Neo-Calvinist libertarian position, over-against all Christian Nationalist, theonomic, theocratic, and religious establishmentarian views that depend on promoting the state.
The video below combines the original live broadcasts of part 1 and part 2.
