Christianity & The State: Reformation NOT Revolution

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.Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:19 Introduction to the Podcast and Summer Mini-Series 06:28 Reformation vs. Revolution: Understanding the Concepts 19:29 The English "Revolution": A reformation NOT a Revolution 25:55 The American War of Independence vs. the French Revolution 28:19 Contrasting Revolutions: American vs. French 33:07 Covenantal vs. Contractual Societies 41:06 The Sexual Revolution: The TRUE American Revolution 54:00 Rebuilding in the Rubble: A Call for Revival and Reformation
