Ep 210: Revisiting Romans 13

July 15, 2025
Protestant Libertarian Podcast

On Blair Lee’s show ‘Bibleworthy’, I revisit Romans 13, the most controversial political passage in the New Testament. I explore how it functions in its historical and rhetorical context, how it relates to Paul’s wider theology, and how we should apply it today. I consider this to be my most definitive statement on the topic to date. Enjoy, and give ‘Bibleworthy’ a follow!
