07/03/24 • 34 min
During this between season break, guest Gabe Magnus joins Ashley to discuss a small but profound meditation on war, militarization, and neighbour love found in the story of Aldarion and Erendis, from the the Unfinished Tales of J. R. R. Tolkien, as well as some of the implications that we see as citizens of the peaceable kingdom.

Summary
In this first episode of Season 2, new host Gabe Magnus joins Ashley to talk about the introduction and first two chapters of The Ballot and the Bible: how scripture has been used and abused in American politics, and where we go from here. We discuss the importance of context, responsible application, and how this book of political theology is in fact a book that encourages us to do biblical interpretation well and carefully in any sphere. We discuss Schiess' helpful investigation of the use of religious language in America's early colonial period. Finally, we also start to consider our own position on the interaction between politics and scripture, a thread that will continue through this season.
