32. “Authority” with Guest Jonathan Leeman

In our culture authority is looked upon with skepticism at best and loathing at worst. Is the answer to all the misuse of authority we see a signal that we should completely do away with it? Or is authority in some way part of the very fabric of reality? How should Christians think about authority? In this episode we interview Jonathan Leeman on his book Authority: How Godly Rule Protects the Vulnerable, Strengthens Communities, and Promotes Human Flourishing . We discuss abuse of authority, the cultural temperature on authority, and the necessity of authority in our lives. Jonathan Leeman makes his case for God’s good design for authority, elaborates on the tie between authority and submission, and explains how submitting to good authority leads to our flourishing.
