This episode of the Libertarian Christian Podcast welcomes Finlay Beach. Beach is the author of the Managed Paranoia series, a near-future Sci-Fi thriller series that weaves libertarian ideals and Christian values into a gripping narrative of a dystopian world shaped by an overreaching post-pandemic government. Beach shares how he balances his day job with his passion for fiction writing, emphasizing character-driven storytelling over preachy ideology. The conversation explores the power of fiction to subtly convey complex ideas, the danger of losing the story to a political agenda, and how libertarian creatives can effectively use their gifts--even if it means not quitting their day jobs. This episode is a must-listen for creatives seeking to blend conviction with compelling storytelling.Learn more about Finlay Beach's work at https://www.openthegift.com, download a free short story that ties into the series here, and buy his books on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/4oAT2RxAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★
Doug Stuart welcomes Alex Bernardo—host of The Protestant Libertarian Podcast—to unpack his book-in-progress on politics, economics, and New Testament interpretation. Alex argues that modern readers (and many New Testament scholars) import post-Enlightenment categories—“politics,” capitalism, socialism—into the first century and then draw conclusions the biblical writers never intended. His remedy starts before exegesis: nail down stable definitions and widen “politics” beyond elections to how humans relate, wield authority, and organize life together.They zero in on Luke–Acts. From Caesar's census pushing Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem to Paul proclaiming the kingdom “unhindered” in Rome, Luke traces the reign of the crucified, risen, and ascended Son of David. In that frame, the Gospel is unavoidably political—not because it tells you how to vote, but because Jesus already reigns. The early church engages authorities without revolutionary violence, trusting the Spirit's power while keeping allegiance to Christ above every rival.Bernardo outlines his method-first opening: concrete definitions of capitalism and socialism; a spectrum framed by liberty versus authority and violence versus nonviolence; and the needed context of Greco-Roman and Second Temple Jewish history. He previews work-by-work studies—Acts 2 and 4 on sharing, the rich young ruler, the widow's mites, Romans 13, and 1 Peter 2—and explains why academic readings often lean left: institutional incentives, limited engagement with primary economic sources, and reliance on secondhand caricatures of economists and traditions (e.g., Hayek, the Austrians). The conversation ranges into theology too: recovering Jesus's concrete Davidic kingship, refusing to sever messianic identity from divine ontology, and practicing interpretive humility that lets the text correct us. Expect a big, careful book (roughly 450–500 pages) that raises the bar for Christians who care about Scripture, history, economics, and real-world power—and a discussion that resists anachronism while inviting principled, peaceable political discipleship today.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★
In this episode, Jacob Winograd takes on Jon Stewart's infamous “19 Questions for Libertarians” from his 2011 exchange with Judge Napolitano. Stewart's list of “gotcha” questions—about roads, firemen, safety nets, and “heartless” libertarians—once made waves online. But more than a decade later, Jacob unpacks why those same arguments still miss the mark.From a distinctly biblical libertarian perspective, Jacob answers each question one by one, exposing the hidden assumptions behind them and showing that true compassion doesn't come from coercion. He breaks down what liberty really means, why government isn't the source of rights, and how biblical principles of justice, charity, and personal responsibility offer a better foundation for a free and moral society.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Drew Holland about his new book The Place of the Past: Historical Criticism's Role in Biblical Studies. We explore the role of history in Biblical interpretation. He defines both historical criticism and the goals of history as a discipline. We then examine how the Bible has been interpreted throughout the ages, starting with the ancient conception of history and going through Patristic, medieval, and modern methods of interpretation. He explains how historical criticism became more prominent through the Renaissance, Reformation, and Enlightenment and why it became the dominant paradigm of interpretation in the 20th century. He then explains the pushback against historical criticism of the Bible both within and outside of the church, particularly by postmodernism, and how historical readings have endured critique. We then discuss the relationship between history and theology, the proper role of history in Biblical interpretation, and how historical criticism benefits the church.

This week's guest is Matt Knowles from Glossop Improv and Dark Peak Adventure Club! After the pandemic, Matt decided it was time to get out, have fun and try something new, and that decision led him straight to the wonderful world of improv. We chat about creativity, community and the sheer joy of saying “yes, and” to life's opportunities. So it's time to sit back, relax and grab a brew as we find out all about Matt's true story of making stuff up.
Cody Cook welcomes to the show John Roth, a scholar of the Radical Reformation and former editor of the Mennonite Quarterly Review. John and Cody explore the enduring relevance of Anabaptism at its 500th anniversary, focusing on its emphases on community, nonviolence, decentralization, and stewardship. Roth also discusses the Anabaptist Community Bible, a unique project blending scholarly insights, historical voices, and lay reflections, inviting readers into a communal hermeneutic. The conversation delves into Anabaptist distinctives—like love for neighbor and rejection of coercive power. Roth also shares the inspiring story of Elsie Baumgartner, an early Anabaptist who cited Psalm 24:1 to challenge national borders, reflecting a theology of God's universal sovereignty. With humor and depth, they navigate the Anabaptist Community Bible's hermeneutical diversity, its artistic elements, and its call to participatory faith. Available at mennomedia.org or Amazon, this Bible offers a fresh lens for Christians seeking a decentralized, diverse, and Spirit-receptive approach to scripture.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★
What does it really mean when Christians declare, “Christ is King”—and how does that truth confront the kingdoms of this world? In this episode, Jacob Winograd welcomes Christian anarchist songwriter Ancap Tim, whose new album The State Is a Mafia challenges believers to rethink their allegiance, patriotism, and the nature of true authority. Tim shares his remarkable journey from a “Bush-cake conservative” and Republican loyalist to a libertarian anarchist shaped by Ron Paul's message of peace and sound money. Together, he and Jacob explore how faith and liberty meet in music, from parodying Billy Joel in We Didn't Start the Scheming to proclaiming No King But Christ as an anthem of spiritual rebellion against state idolatry.Their conversation dives deep into how modern churches have blurred the line between worship and nationalism, the corruption of banking and empire, and the difference between coercion and voluntary cooperation. They also unpack the moral roots of pacifism and self-defense, the call to resist through creativity and community, and why living under Christ's reign now means rejecting Caesar's counterfeit power. Whether you're curious about Christian anarchism, the theology behind “Christ is King,” or simply love music that speaks truth to power, this episode is both challenging and inspiring.Audio cleaned up with the Podsworth App!https://podsworth.comUse code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbZXhwAg-sYSU-UXjDAE_cA/join

Karin Huster, responsable des activités médicales au sein de Médecins sans frontières France, s'est rendue à Gaza fin septembre pour une mission de sept semaines, à Deir Al-Balah. C'est sa quatrième mission dans l'enclave palestinienne.A ce moment-là, peu de personnes croient à l'imminence d'un cessez-le-feu, encore moins d'un accord de paix. Et puis, l'accord arrive, le 9 octobre à 2 heures du matin. Karin Huster a vécu tout cela depuis Gaza : les drames, les doutes, les espoirs. C'est ce qu'elle raconte dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde ».Pendant dix jours, elle a partagé le quotidien des Gazaouis et ce moment historique à travers des notes vocales, envoyées à notre journaliste Clément Baudet.Un témoignage inédit, depuis cette zone de guerre interdite d'accès aux journalistes par Israël.Un épisode de Clément Baudet.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Mark Goodacre, professor of religious studies at Duke University, about his brand-new book The Fourth Synoptic Problem: John's Knowledge of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, where he argues that John knew and used the Synoptic narratives when composing his gospel. Mark explains the problems with the Q theory and why so many scholars have built a firewall between John and the Synoptics. We then explore why he believes John knew the Synoptics. John seems to presuppose the Synoptic narratives, turns Synoptic stories into speech, and dramatizes the Synoptic presentation of Jesus. We also discuss how John's Christology is in continuity with the Synoptics, how Goodacre's work impacts our understanding of the date and authorship of John, and helpful resources for people who want to learn more about the Synoptic problem.

L'alignement est souvent question de trajectoire. On la rêvait au sommet de la pyramide télévisuelle, au 20 heures, mais Mélissa Theuriau a préféré un autre chemin : celui de la liberté et de l'instinct. Formée dans les rédactions de LCI puis révélée sur M6, elle s'affirme en refusant de se laisser enfermer dans une case, un destin tracé et fonde, en 2011, sa société de production. Depuis, elle accompagne avec constance des films qui éclairent les marges et donnent de la voix aux plus vulnérables : enfants placés, mères en lutte, parcours invisibilisés. Aux côtés de sa partenaire Léa Huitorel, elle défend un documentaire de création sans commentaire, où l'image et la parole brute priment sur le spectaculaire. Admirée autant pour son expérience que pour sa discrétion, elle incarne un autre visage de la réussite : celui d'une femme qui a su dire non pour être à sa place, entre engagement, exigence et transmission. Celui d'une mère de famille accomplie aussi, qui, dit-elle, ne l'aurait peut-être pas été si elle avait fait d'autres choix.

Doug Stuart welcomes back James Whitford, founder of Watered Gardens and the True Charity Initiative, for an in-depth discussion on his new book, The Crisis of Dependency: How Our Efforts to Solve Poverty Are Trapping People in It, and What We Can Do to Foster Freedom Instead. James shares the journey from launching a small local ministry in Joplin, Missouri, to spearheading a national movement focused on transforming how we address poverty.Diving into the roots of toxic charity and the pitfalls of well-intended handouts, James explains how our charitable efforts often create cycles of dependency—rather than empowering those in need. He unpacks the principles of true charity: it should be privately funded, outcome-driven, and challenge-oriented, always respecting the dignity and agency of every individual.Doug and James also explore practical steps for compassionate, effective giving, the important role of relationships in overcoming poverty, and how churches and organizations can shift from relief-based to empowerment-based ministry. With references to Frédéric Bastiat, John Stuart Mill, and powerful personal anecdotes, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it means to truly help—and to foster real freedom in their communities.Crisis of Dependency Book Description:Millions in the U.S. are trapped in cycles of poverty due to well-meaning but misguided charitable models. In The Crisis of Dependency, James Whitford, Founder of Watered Gardens Ministries, shares how our compassion often perpetuates the very problems we aim to solve. Through personal stories, firsthand experience, and research, he reveals that handouts offer temporary relief but deepen dependency.James has worked for decades with those struggling with homelessness and poverty and after a brief stint of living on the streets, he recognized that what most people in poverty need isn't material aid alone, but a path to self-sufficiency. Inspired by thought leaders like Marvin Olasky and Robert D. Lupton, and drawing from his own ministry, Whitford reimagined charity as one that restores dignity through relationship and accountability. His work has transformed lives by helping individuals build the skills and mindset needed for long-term success.This book offers a blueprint for those who want to move beyond transactional charity. James invites readers to embrace approaches that challenge the status quo and cultivate meaningful, sustainable change in communities.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★
In this episode I talk with Dr. Jeffery Degner, economist at Cornerstone University and fellow at The Mises Institute, about the impact of inflation on American society. He explains how inflation is the artificial expansion of the money supply and is controlled by the Federal Reserve. This leads to higher prices and the business cycle but benefits the wealthiest asset holders. He describes the United States as having an ‘inflation culture' and explains how inflation hurts families, working people, and the poor. We explore how it has led to cultural degeneracy, a reliance on debt and credit, rampant consumerism, and other social evils. We discuss the impact of inflation on the church and why Christians should take this issue seriously.

This week we are joined by the wonderful Chris Mead. Chris is a real font of improv knowledge and we delve into a wide variety of topics. He delves deep into his incredible journey into improv, from his early days performing at the Edinburgh Fringe to making improv his full-time career. We talk about his early influences, including Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and how discovering Baby Wants Candy: The Improvised Musical sparked lifelong friendships and helped shape his improv path. Chris reflects on training with the Crunchy Frog Collective, his part in building London's thriving improv scene, and how he developed not only as a performer but also as a facilitator. Along the way we cover his geeky passions — Doctor Who, musicals — his enduring friendship with Katy Schutte, and his current work with Hoopla Impro and The Pretend Company. We also look ahead at what's next: from his Develop Your Own Practice award exploring the merger of movement and ensemble work, to teaching and performing in over 25 countries, and running indie projects under his own name. Chris is also co-founder of Unmade Theatre Co and one-third of the sci-fi improv team Project2.

In this bonus episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob republishes his appearance on The Libertarian Christian Podcast with host Cody Cook and fellow guest Chris Todd, a missionary and trauma therapist based in the Middle East. The conversation begins with Chris sharing firsthand accounts of working with war-torn communities in Lebanon and Syria, offering insight into the human side of conflict and the deep wounds left by war, displacement, and oppression. These personal stories set the stage for a broader discussion on how Christians should understand the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict through the lens of faith, justice, and compassion.The dialogue then turns toward theology, examining how covenant theology provides a Christ-centered framework for understanding God's promises in contrast to dispensationalist approaches. Jacob explains how the covenants throughout Scripture point toward fulfillment in Christ, while Chris highlights how misreadings of Scripture often distort political support for the modern state of Israel. Together, the panel unpacks how theology shapes Christian engagement with issues of war, nationalism, and antisemitism, calling believers back to the peace of Christ as the true hope for both Israelis and Palestinians.Audio cleaned up with the Podsworth App!https://podsworth.comUse code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.com
In this episode I talk with Phil Christman. Phil teaches writing at the University of Michigan and is author of the brand-new Why Christians Should Be Leftists, out now on Eerdmans Press. In this book he argues for the compatibility of left-wing politics and Christianity, making the case that Christians should be naturally inclined to leftism. We discuss his journey into leftist thought, deconstruction, the problems with both the Christian right and the DNC, his concerns about capitalism, liberalism, and libertarianism, why he thinks socialism is compatible with Jesus's teaching, and how leftism understands work and power. We also discuss, in light of the Charlie Kirk assassination, how Christians from different perspectives can learn to have better conversations.

In this episode of The Greenroom, Jacob Winograd is joined by Nikki Phillippi, a longtime YouTuber, musician, and outspoken Christian whose career has been marked by both influence and controversy. Nikki shares her story of navigating the highs and lows of public life — from early success in music and lifestyle content, to the painful seasons of backlash over adoption, her stance on COVID, and the loss of friendships along the way. Through it all, she has sought to remain unashamed of the gospel, even when speaking biblical truth came at the cost of her reputation.The conversation ranges widely: Nikki reflects on her upbringing and her father's powerful conversion, the way homeschooling and motherhood reshaped her view of family, and why she believes cancel culture often reveals the idols of our age. Jacob and Nikki also dive into conspiracies, child trafficking, and the dangers of the entertainment industry, before turning to bigger questions about politics, liberty, and the role of faith in resisting a hostile culture. By the end, listeners will come away with a raw and relatable picture of what it means to live freely in Christ while pushing back against both cultural pressure and political overreach.Audio cleaned up with the Podsworth App!https://podsworth.comUse code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!
Wilk Wilkinson, host of Derate the Hate and Director of Media Systems and Operations at Braver Angels, joins host Cody Cook to talk about our polarized political climate and how to rise above it. Braver Angels is a cross-partisan grassroots movement that strives to bridge toxic partisan divides through civil dialogue and civic renewal. Wilkinson shares his journey from a “toxic keyboard warrior” to advocating for depolarized conversations, emphasizing that dialogue doesn't mean compromising core beliefs—like a libertarian's stance against state violence—but fosters understanding. Can you engage neo-Nazis or Klansmen? Wilkinson, friends with de-radicalization expert Daryl Davis, insists even the darkest minds can teach us something, preventing downstream harm. While fear-driven memes grab clicks, Braver Angels' love-based approach, though more challenging to scale, builds trust over outrage. Wilkinson's Derate the Hate podcast and BraverAngels.org invite you to join this patriotic movement to heal divides.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★

Doug Stuart sits down with Jordan Bush—missionary, author, and Bitcoin advocate—for a deep dive into the intersections of sound money, faith, and global impact. Jordan shares his firsthand experiences as a missionary witnessing the economic collapse in Venezuela, which opened his eyes to the human cost of currency debasement and the urgent need for financial alternatives. Together, they unpack core questions around what makes Bitcoin "sound money," why its scarcity matters, and how it's being adopted by missionaries and nonprofits in challenging environments worldwide.Jordan explains why Bitcoin has a unique value proposition for Christians and liberty-minded individuals, making the moral and theological case for decentralized currency. The conversation weaves stories of hardship, hope, and practical tips for approaching Bitcoin—not as financial advice, but as an exploration of conviction and stewardship. Whether you're skeptical about digital currency, curious about its real-world uses, or already a believer, this episode sheds light on Bitcoin's potential to transform lives and societies.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★
On dit du Premier ministre, Sébastien Lecornu, qu'il est silencieux, discret, secret, modeste, prudent, à l'écoute... Pour l'instant, il a écouté, mais n'a rien dit. C'est ce qu'ont dit notamment les Socialistes et les responsables du Rassemblement national à leur sortie de Matignon. D'après Arlette Chabot, il va falloir qu'il sorte de son trou. C'est une avancée très concrète de quelque chose de symbolique. Cela prend la suite de la suppression des avantages pour les anciens ministres. Des organismes sont susceptibles d'être supprimés par le Premier ministre, Sébastien Lecornu. Dominique Seux affirme avoir la liste des délégations concernées. A priori, la reconnaissance d'un État palestinien part d'un bon sentiment. En plus, c'est une grande victoire diplomatique de la France. Mais Isabelle Lasserre a peur que cela ne change pas grand-chose, car les deux parties principales de cette histoire, les États-Unis et Israël, sont vent debout contre cette initiative.

In this episode I talk to Jacob Winograd about covenant theology and its impact on Biblical interpretation. We discussed my recent conversation with Stephen Angliss about dispensationalism, and Jacob argues for the alternative of covenant theology. He explains how God works through various covenants and their fulfillment, how it provides a hermeneutical framework for reading the Bible, how it is different than dispensationalism, and how it intersects both with the Reformed tradition and political readings of the text. We also discuss how covenant theology can help us think critically about the second Trump administration.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Mark Nanos about his recent contribution on Philippians to the book Judeophobia and the New Testament, out now on Eerdmans. Dr. Nanos is the leading proponent of the ‘Paul Within Judaism' school which reads Paul as a Jew who continues to understand his mission as an apostle within the framework of Judaism. He argues that the Christian interpretive tradition has marginalized and disparaged Judaism in unhelpful and unhistorical ways, and that Philippians 3 has often been used in anti-Jewish polemic. He situates Philippians 3 within its historical and rhetorical context, explaining how references to ‘dogs' and ‘stomachs' make more sense within the framework of Cynic philosophy and should best be understood as an attack against pagan culture instead of Judaism. We talk about Paul's Jewish identity and his belief that gentiles were incorporated into Israel through faith, as well as why modern Christians need to seriously reconsider Paul and his Jewish identity if we want to faithfully interpret the New Testament.

Stephan Kinsella was our guest to talk about "intellectual property," the concept that an individual's ideas belong to them and should be protected from free use by others through law. Stephan is a patent attorney and libertarian writer in Houston whose book Against Intellectual Property is the seminal work on this subject. We discussed why intellectual property is not really property, why it places an undue burden on society, and how it inhibits the free exchange of culture and ideas.Stephan can be found at www.stephankinsella.com, at the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom, and on X/Twitter @NSKinsellaResources mentioned in this episode:Stephan Kinsella's book, Against Intellectual Property – on Amazon and Free from the Mises InstituteStephan's Soho forum debate, Abolish Copyrights and Patents?RiP: A Remix Manifesto – Amazon Video and Free on YouTubeRichard Stallman's book, Free Software, Free SocietyAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★

We talk Israel/Palestine, the Trump economy, flag burning, and how Christians should interact with political leaders.

How do you get people who've never seen improv before to come to a show? In this episode of the Liverpool Comedy ImprovCast, Iain Luke Jones chats with Dave Hodgson about the tricky art of marketing improv to non-improvisers. From finding the right language to avoiding insider jargon, to making improv feel exciting, accessible, and impossible to miss, we dive into what really works (and what definitely doesn't!). Expect honest anecdotes, practical tips, and a few laughs along the way as we explore how to turn curious newcomers into lifelong fans of live improv comedy.
Doug Stuart welcomes Elizabeth Nolan Brown—senior editor at Reason, author of the bi-weekly Sex and Tech newsletter, co-founder of Feminists for Liberty, and adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati. Together, they dive deep into the "MAHA" (Make America Healthy Again) movement, exploring its roots, cultural evolution, and increasing intersection with politics—particularly within libertarian and right-leaning circles.Doug and Liz discuss the personal journeys that led them to think more critically about health, food, and nutrition, and how public perceptions of "crunchy" or alternative health lifestyles have shifted across the political spectrum. The conversation touches on the elitism sometimes present in health movements, the pros and cons of government regulation (like banning food dyes or mandating certain foods), and how much of the MAHA movement aligns—or clashes—with libertarian ideals of personal responsibility, choice, and skepticism of state authority.With humorous anecdotes about picky eating, parenting, and label reading, as well as a lightning round on healthy habits and guilty pleasures, this episode offers a balanced, insightful, and fun look at the current state of American health culture—and why it matters for libertarians and non-libertarians alike.Whether you're health-curious, politically engaged, or simply enjoy smart, lively conversation, this episode is a must-listen!Show Notes:Read Trad Wives and Tallow Fries: How the Wellness Wars Flipped Health and Food Politics Upside DownWatch From Big Gulps to Raw Milk: The Rise of MAHAAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode I talk with Dr. Christy Cobb and Dr. Katherine Shaner about the new book they coedited entitled Ancient Slavery and Its New Testament Contexts, out now on Eerdmans. They explain the institution of slavery in antiquity, its pervasiveness in Greco-Roman society, and how Romans and Jews alike thought about slavery. Dr. Cobb explains her chapter on gender roles, noting how men and women experienced slavery differently, and Dr. Shaner explains her chapter on New Testament household codes and their complex presentation of slavery. We then talk about the conflicting instructions regarding slavery in the New Testament, the Bible's role in the abolitionist movement, and why Christians should seriously think about this issue. Dr. Cobb also wanted to refer curious listeners to the following article, which explores slavery in the Rabbinic tradition in greater detail: Hezser, Catherine. “Part Whore, Part Wife: Slave Women in the Palestinian Rabbinic Tradition.” In Doing Gender - Doing Religion: Case Studies on Intersectionality in Early Judaism, Christianity and Islam, edited by Ute E.

C dans l'air du 1er septembre 2025 - Dette : la faute aux séniors ?À une semaine du vote de confiance à l'Assemblée nationale, qu'il a lui-même sollicité autour de la question budgétaire et qui pourrait sceller le sort de son gouvernement, François Bayrou multiplie les initiatives. Dimanche soir, il a accordé un long entretien télévisé en direct de Matignon aux journalistes des quatre chaînes d'information — LCI, Franceinfo, BFMTV et CNews. Et ce lundi, il entame une série d'entretiens avec les différents partis politiques. Objectif : trouver un compromis sur le budget 2026 et sauver sa tête. Mais le peut-il encore ?Si le Premier ministre fait mine d'y croire, en se disant "ouvert à la discussion", il a une nouvelle fois défendu ses choix budgétaires et balayé les propositions du PS, qui se dit "volontaire" pour lui succéder à Matignon. François Bayrou a également affirmé n'avoir « jamais dit qu'il fallait cibler les boomers, dont [il est]". Tout en appelant les retraités à aider les plus jeunes, qu'il juge pour une partie "sacrifiés" et "sans destin", il a ajouté : "Je veux réveiller les aînés parce que je suis sûr qu'ils sont solidaires avec ce que je dis. Ce sont leurs enfants et leurs petits-enfants". Le Premier ministre a par ailleurs écarté l'hypothèse d'une suppression de l'abattement de 10 % pour frais professionnels dont bénéficient les retraités.Une semaine après avoir pris de court toute la classe politique en convoquant un vote de confiance à l'Assemblée, le chef du gouvernement a justifié sa démarche : "Si je n'ai pas l'assentiment minimal des Français et de ceux qui les représentent, il n'y a aucune politique courageuse possible. Vous êtes obligé de battre en retraite sur chaque mesure, et après, vous vous retrouvez censuré". Mais c'est un euphémisme de dire que le Premier ministre n'a pas réussi à convaincre l'opposition… ni même son propre camp. La présidente de l'Assemblée nationale, Yaël Braun-Pivet, n'a en effet pas épargné le chef du gouvernement. Au micro de France Inter, ce lundi matin, elle a critiqué "les mots maladroits" de François Bayrou sur les oppositions ou les "boomers". Elle a aussi appelé, en cas de chute du gouvernement, les forces politiques à se réunir pour se mettre d'accord sur une coalition jusqu'en 2027.À l'extrême droite, les réactions sont tout aussi critiques du côté du Rassemblement national."On a vu un mélange d'adieu pitoyable… Il a compris que c'était fini. Il va profiter de ses derniers moments d'interview avec le syndrome Dalida pour mourir sur scène", a fustigé le porte-parole Laurent Jacobelli dimanche soir sur BFMTV, à l'unisson des cadres du parti.Le vice-président du RN, Sébastien Chenu, a parlé d'un Premier ministre "naufragé, au bout du rouleau". Invités mardi matin à Matignon par François Bayrou, dont ils souhaitent la chute, Marine Le Pen et Jordan Bardella ont également décidé de réunir ce lundi après-midi un "bureau de campagne" du Rassemblement national, pour anticiper une possible dissolution et de nouvelles élections législatives.À gauche, plusieurs partis — dont La France insoumise et les Écologistes — ont déjà indiqué qu'ils ne répondront pas présents à l'invitation de François Bayrou."Pathétique et crépusculaire", a cinglé dimanche le patron du PS, Olivier Faure. Alors que François Bayrou affirmait que le socialiste n'était pas "disponible" pour parler du budget pendant ses vacances, Olivier Faure a démenti sur X (ex-Twitter) : "Je suis parti 10 jours, j'ai toujours été joignable, et je suis rentré en Seine-et-Marne le 30 juillet". Clémentine Autain, députée NFP de Seine-Saint-Denis, s'est également indignée sur X :"Est-il possible d'arrêter de raconter que ce sont les générations futures qui vont payer la dette ?"Elle poursuit : "Ce sont les classes populaires qui vont payer tout de suite, par les coupes budgétaires qui s'abattent sur les protections sociales et les services publics."Le principal syndicat représentatif dans la fonction publique, la CGT, appelle désormais à "tout bloquer" et à la grève les 10 et 18 septembre, selon un communiqué publié ce lundi. Les deux autres principales organisations syndicales, quant à elles, concentrent leurs efforts sur la mobilisation du 18 septembre.Et vous, qu'avez-vous retenu de l'interview de François Bayrou ? Vous a-t-il convaincu ?Les "boomers" sont-ils responsables de la dette ?LES EXPERTS :- Jérôme JAFFRÉ - Politologue - Chercheur associé au CEVIPOF- Philippe DESSERTINE - Directeur de l'Institut de Haute Finance, auteur de "L'horizon des possibles"- Nathalie MAURET - Reporter politique - Groupe de presse régionale Ebra- Anne ROSENCHER - Directrice déléguée de la rédaction – L'Express
