Ep 387: The Battle for Bonhoeffer, with Stephen Haynes
Host Cody Cook engages in a thought-provoking dialogue with Dr. Steven R. Haines, professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Rhodes College and author of the critically acclaimed book, The Battle for Bonhoeffer: Debating Discipleship in the Age of Trump.
The conversation covers Bonhoeffer's complex writings, produced under the existential strains of Nazi Germany, and explores how his steadfast opposition to Nazism has been invoked in contemporary political landscapes--particularly by politically conservative evangelicals like Eric Metaxas. Haines and Cook examine the varied political utilizations of Bonhoeffer’s work and the potential misconceptions that come with his broad appeal.
Listeners will gain insights into Bonhoeffer’s controversial involvement in the assassination plot against Hitler, his concept of "religionless Christianity," and his nuanced peace ethic that challenges both pacifism and violence. They also discuss how Bonhoeffer's commitment to social justice exemplifies the intersection of the Gospel and aiding those oppressed by state actions.
Join us for this insightful episode as we unpack the legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and explore what it means to be a disciple in challenging times.

Ep 389: The Anarchist Anabaptist, with Cody Cook
Doug Stuart is joined by Cody Cook, an author and new co-host of The Libertarian Christian Podcast, to discuss the intriguing intersections between libertarianism, Anabaptism, and Christian nonviolence.
Cody recounts both his religious journey and his exploration of anti-authoritarian beliefs on the right and left, culminating in a profound interest in both libertarianism and Anabaptism—a Christian sect known for its voluntary faith, separation from state influence, and rejection of infant baptism. Cody draws parallels between Anabaptist nonresistance and the libertarian nonaggression principle (NAP), shedding light on the philosophical tensions and harmonies between individualism and communalism within these ideologies.
Doug and Cody engage in a thought-provoking discussion on the application of nonviolence and the legitimacy of self-defense, weighing Christian ethics against libertarian principles.
Listeners will be introduced to Cody’s new book The Anarchist Anabaptist and upcoming release on systematic theology titled The Pocket Anabaptist, both exploring rich theological and historical contexts. Cody and Doug humorously touch on libertarian economic views and community dynamics, offering a nuanced look at the synergy between personal rights and voluntary communal living.
