Simon P. Kennedy’s March 2022 article in the Journal of Religious History, “The Decalogue, Resistance, and Political Obedience in Early Protestant Thought” provides an outline of how key figures in church history have interpreted and applied the command to ‘honour your father and mother” in regard to our relationship with other authority figures. In this episode, we not only discuss the article, but also the theology and Christian ethics behind and drawn from these historical insights that Kennedy has provided.
Kennedy has written a book expanding on this subject, called “Reforming the Law of Nature: The Secularisation of Political Thought, 1532–1689” (Edinburgh University Press, March 2022)
