PODCAST: Medieval Christianity and the Journey to Religious Freedom (w/ Alex Bernardo)

Posted Cody


Alex Bernardo was my guest to discuss medieval Christianity’s integration of church and state, how liberalism paved the way for freedom of religion, and why right and left wing extremists are now questioning whether freedom was such a good idea.

Alex Bernardo is a history teacher and host of The Protestant Libertarian Podcast. He’s on Twitter @prolibertypod and is part of The Libertarian Christian Institute.
