Ep 181: Dr Adam Koontz and Rev Jonathan Fisk talk about the definition of political theology, how church and state interact, why we have such trouble understanding politics, what causes governments to eradicate religion, the desire to escape government, and the illusion of religious neutrality in the US.

MadPx Mondays
A Brief History of Power
Every week Dr. Adam Koontz and Rev. Jonathan Fisk check their privilege against the backdrop of the wide and varied annals of history. You don‘t have to believe the Babel about the sons of Noah being a rosetta for understanding the postmodern global politic to agree that an intellectual dark web exists because history always rhymes, no matter what you try to do about it. You might not save the world by listening, citizen, but that doesn‘t mean you won‘t save someone. Because knowing is only the first half of the battle.
