In this episode of Biblical Anarchy, we confront the complexities of Romans 13 and the nature of governing authorities. We'll also scrutinize the presuppositions associated with state power and the conduct of Christians under different types of governance.
Acknowledging the diverse Christian perspectives on this issue, we'll juxtapose our own interpretations with those from other Christian perspectives, including other libertarian and anarchist viewpoints. Specifically, I talk about Stephen Rose of the Anarcho-Christian podcast and some interactions we've had over our different interpretations. We delve into the significance of good conduct in relation to state authority and challenge the conflation of governance with the state apparatus.
Our discussion goes beyond a mere exploration of the text to question the effectiveness of political power in upholding righteousness. With an eye towards the history of nations and the calling of our faith, we'll encourage a focus on Jesus Christ as the ultimate hope and leader. Join us as we search for a deeper understanding of governance, authority, and our place as Christians in this world.

What is The Biblical Anarchy Podcast?
The Biblical Anarchy Podcast was created by Jacob Winograd as a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute, with the purpose of making the case for a free society and decentralized governance based on Biblical principles of limited authority and imitating Christ’s example of the leader/servant. If we render unto God what is God’s, we cannot bow down to Caesar or render anything unto him except that which he deserves. The podcast consists of exploring different Bible passages, anarchist theory, Austrian Economics, and finding the connection and harmony between them.
The Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians for Liberty Network, a coalition of shows that promote human flourishing by spreading the message of liberty. Find other shows at christiansforliberty.net
