Doug Wilson Part 5: A "Christian" Defense of Slavery (with David Johnson)
Are you ready to dismantle destructive doctrines?
The host of the Dismantling Doctrine Podcast, Dr Clint Heacock, warns about the danger of cult psychology and tactics, harmful religion, religious trauma syndrome, and the threat posed by the Christian Right and dominion theology.
As we're nearing the end of our
exhaustive--and potentially exhausting--deep dive into all things
Doug Wilson, back in October of 2022 I reached out to former guest
David Johnson, host of the Skeptics and Seekers as well as the Red
Letters podcasts for some help.
This episode has been a long
time coming, but it's definitely worth the wait. David and I start
with Wilson's bookSouthern Slavery as it
Wasand then branch out from there
into both historical as well as modern defenses of slavery from a
Christian point of view.
We'll conclude the episode by
taking a long look at some Old Testament passages--do they justify
slavery and if so, how might those teachings impact on the modern
Christian today in terms of a defense of
slavery?
Reconstruction after deconstruction--after leaving religion behind. This show also educates the listeners of the dangers posed by dominion theology and the Christian Right today.
