Episode Details

Jordan talks with Oliver Allmand-Smith about his new book Under God, Over the People. They cover topics like why did you write this book? What does it mean that the civil government is answerable to God? What does it mean that the civil government is called by God?  What does it mean that the civil government is empowered by God? Is the civil government a nursing father? What does it look like to have a godly magistrate? Should baptists seek such a thing? Would this lead to a form of established religion that baptists should reject? And more!
