Episode: Episode 192: The theological roots of American self-government with American historian Bill Federer
Description: Our guest host Shaun Fredrickson has a fascinating discussion about the history of American self-government and how it was modeled on ancient Israel prior to kings and on the covenant form of Protestant church governance. He interviews noted historian, speaker, and author Bill Federer, whose new book Silence Equals Consent: The Sin of Omission explains how the German philosophy of Pietism actually set the stage for German pastors refusing to get involved during the rise of Hitler and how this philosophy inhibits many American pastors today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
