The Fourth Way – Christian Anarchism and Conservative Theology

I was recently a guest on The Fourth Way podcast! Here’s the episode description:

Cody Cook joins the show today to talk about a conservative view of anarchism. While many anarchists would be more theologically liberal, Cody talks about how we can arrive at anarchism while grounding that view in a conservative reading of the Bible.

0:00 – Preface

2:30 – Cody’s Introduction

4:30 – Does a face value reading of the Bible give you a violent, statist God?

12:45 – Can enemy love be grounded in the character of God if his standards for it have changed over time?

23:00 – Is the Antenicene Church helpful in forming our beliefs, and if so, how do we choose what to accept and dismiss from them?

30:45 – The Antenicene Church helps us embrace diversity, unity, and humility.

34:00 – How do we deal with the fact that many Christian Anarchists dismiss or diminish the resurrection of Jesus?

44:30 – How do we relate with other Christian groups who are more liberal, which many anarchist and nonviolent groups are?
