Conversations: Glenn Sunshine on Limited Government, Liberty, and Christian Resistance

Summary

In this episode of Filter Conversations, author Glenn Sunshine talks to us about his newest book Slaying Leviathan (Canon Press, 2020). This book is a historical exploration of the Christian tradition of limited government and resistance theory. Many Christians might be unaware that the beliefs in limited government and individual liberty in the West have their origins in Christianity. Dr. Sunshine introduces us to Jesus’ profound statement that lays the groundwork for limited government, Augustine’s contributions to Western political theology, Christian resistance theory, and how everyday Christians can resist Leviathan. Dr. Glenn Sunshine is a Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University and Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. He is the author of several books including Slaying Leviathan and Why You Think the Way You Do (Zondervan, 2009), which received the 2006 Acton Institute Book Grant.
