Ep 130: Everyone is Wrong About Romans 13 (Including Me)

Jun 10 2024 56 mins  
In this episode, I explain why I am unhappy with everyone’s interpretation, including my own. Christians from every political perspective want to either claim Romans 13 validates their position or try to explain it away theologically, and I don’t believe that either of these approaches are historically correct. I examine the many shortcomings with popular interpretations of Rom
