Luke Bretherton: Rethinking Humanitarianism - EP 123

In response to the challenge of poverty and global needs, many of us default to humanitarianism as a solution. But should we? Dr. Luke Bretherton of Duke University joins us to discuss this important question. We discuss the need for a shared life, neighbor love, the importance of listening, and Dr. Bretherton’s latest book, Christ and the Common Life: Political Theology and The Case for Democracy (Eerdmans, 2019). (The conversation starts at 8:55) PLUS, in “Headlines” (1:35), Jacob Haley talks to us about the 2023 Speed Chess Championship and what we can learn from it. And in “On My Bookshelf (48:10), Dr. Keathley tells you what he’s reading right now.
