    Reclaiming Christendom IX(a): Is a Christian Rapprochement Possible?

    In November 2017, The Distributist read and commented upon an article by Felix Miller, "The Right Needs Joy". Discussing the possibility that the left has finally gone off the deep end, Distributist comments, "[I]f we are in the terminal phase of progressivism, the opposition to that dying force cannot be purely negative; it can't be a group of people who stand against nut jobs.... We need a reason to carry on civilization. We need reasons for joy." This series argues that the reasons for joy and for carrying on civilization are to be found in the reclamation of Christendom. In this episode, I begin discussing the problem of division among Christians, asking, first, if a Christian rapprochement is possible. In future episodes I will discuss divisions between Protestants, Roman Catholics, and the Eastern Orthodox.

    Reclaiming Christendom Part VIII - The Specter of Theonomy (3)

    The third and final installment of my treatment of theonomy, in which I discuss the philosophy of law which a reclaimed Christendom should adopt, an approach to law which is intended to repair and restore, rather than primarily to punish. Link mentioned in the episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Federal_Regulations#/media/File:Code_of_Federal_Regulations.jpg

    Reclaiming Christendom Part VIII - The Specter of Theonomy (2)

    Finding time and place for recording still a problem now due to family health matters. But here is the second installment of my treatment of theonomy. In this installment, I discuss the sexual ethics of the Law, particular as the punishments are concerned. This discussion raises the question of jurisprudence in a reclaimed Christendom, which will be the topic of the next and final installment on the subject of theonomy.

    Reclaiming Christendom Part VIII - The Specter of Theonomy (1)

    I continue to struggle finding time and place for recording, due to the loss of my "studio" thanks to COVID precautions. But here, at long last, is the first installment of my treatment of theonomy. In this installment, the first of three, I deal with the doctrine of our being freed from the law, a topic which always comes up in discussions of theonomy, raised, understandably, by most critics of theonomy. The text for this installment is a passage in Galatians chapter five.

    Reading: From NIGHT, by Elie Wiesel

    Elie Wiesel was a Romanian-born American writer, political activist, and Holocaust survivor. He authored 57 books, including Night, which is based on his experiences as a Jewish prisoner in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. Yes, I am continuing Reclaiming Christendom. But several family health issues have imposed time constraints which have hindered my preparation of the script.

    Reclaiming Christendom Part VII - Christendom and the Kingdom of God

    In this installment, I explain the distinction between Christendom "as a civilization, with a supporting culture, influenced by traditional Christianity and orienting its members toward the kingdom of heaven," as a means of explaining why Christendom cannot be confused with the Kingdom.

    Reclaiming Christendom - Part VI: Minister of God

    In this episode, I read the text of a lecture I delivered as a follow-up to the previous episode. (The original recording left a bit to be desired in terms of quality.) As with the previous episode, I delivered this lecture a few years ago, long before I started thinking along the lines I am outlining and describing in this series. However, together with the previous, it served such a seminal role in my thinking that I doubt I would ever have conceived of the idea of reclaiming Christendom if I had not started thinking along the lines I outlined in these lecture. The episode on the Great Commission is here: https://anchor.fm/jf-sols/episodes/Reclaiming-Christendom-Part-II---Christendom-and-the-Great-Commission-epp69l

    Reclaiming Christendom V: Enemies of the State

    This is actually a recording of a lecture a few years ago, long before I started thinking along the lines I am outlining and describing in this series. However, it served such a seminal role in my thinking that I doubt I would ever have conceived of the idea of reclaiming Christendom if I had not started thinking along the lines I outline in this lecture. And although, chronologically, the lecture precedes my work here, I believe this is where it logically belongs in the series. There is a follow-up lecture, which will soon follow.
