J. Gresham Machen: Anti-State Christian Hero

Category: History, Politics, Religion / Tag: , ,   /

I heard this lecture, given by Dr. Shawn Ritenour about 2.5 years ago and just now ran across it again. It’s an overview of J. Gresham Machen’s views on the state. He was staunchly anti-state and anti-war. Yet, as a solid Christian theologian he didn’t see how those things conflicted with his faith at all. To the contrary, he saw them as a compliment. This is a very good lecture and worth your time to listen to. If you don’t know Dr. Ritenour’s work, he’s very good. He’s a professor of economics at Grove City College, a christian liberal arts college in Pennsylvania.
