Reformed Libertarians with Gregory Baus

from Dare to Think | Mere Liberty Podcast · host Kerry Baldwin

TIP JAR: https://donate.stripe.com/aEUdUE5YodhZgkUeUV  Summary - Reformed Libertarians with Gregory Baus Today I'm announcing a new podcast that I've been working on and will be co-hosting. Many of you know that I'm a Reformed Christian who is also libertarian. But what you may not realize, is the extent to which my libertarian views are grounded in the Reformed faith. For the past years, I've been one of the only Reformed libertarians with a major platform. This has created a challenge to me to provide content on seemingly disparate topics, but this takes away from my ability to focus in the topics I'm better known for and would prefer to refine my focus on. So today, I'm making an announcement about this new project with my friend and colleague, Gregory Baus. I will be co-hosting this new podcast, in addition to this podcast, Dare to Think - which will only get better. I'm excited about the opportunities. Join me, Kerry Baldwin with Gregory Baus, as we Dare to Think about introducing libertarianism to the Reformed world.   Main Points of Discussion 00:00    Introduction 01:26    How we came to start the Reformed Libertarians Podcast; Previous episodes with Gregory Baus on culture 02:56    What's the purpose of having a Reformed perspective of libertarianism; Definition of libertarianism 04:48    Typical Objections: "Profit over people" or "Do whatever we want"; Austrian Economic Theory; "If we care about human life, society, this warrants coercing groups to get along"; Principles of justice, morality, conception of human nature, nature of society and how it operates 10:14    Didn't John Calvin believe in using the magistrate to enforce Christianity?
