In this conversation with Dr. Dylan Pahman, author of The Kingdom of God and the Common Good and co‑editor of The Christian Roots of American Liberty, we explore the overlooked intellectual resources within the Eastern Orthodox tradition that support freedom, rule of law, spontaneous order, private property, and even free markets.\n\nFrom sobornost (conciliar togetherness) to sophia (wisdom) to the liturgical worldview that shapes Orthodox social ethics, Dr. Pahman uncovers historical examples, forgotten thinkers, and surprising theological insights that challenge the stereotype of Eastern Orthodoxy as inherently statist or “caesaropapist.”\nIf you’ve ever wondered whether Orthodoxy has its own path to liberty — or how Eastern Christian thought can enrich the broader Christian conversation on freedom — this episode is for you.\nLinks:\n- The Kingdom of God and the Common Good by Dylan Pahman\n- The Christian Roots of American Liberty by Dylan Pahman and John C.
