Christ and Classics

39. The Declaration of Independence (Season 4, Episode 2)

15 Sep 2024

Description

In this episode of the Christ in Classics podcast, Colton Moore and Devin Wilkins discuss the philosophical and historical implications of the Declaration of Independence. They explore the foundational concepts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, examining how these ideas have evolved and their relevance in contemporary society. The conversation explores the grievances against British rule, the role of government, and the moral responsibilities of citizens. They also reflect on the educational system's impact on society and the legacy of Thomas Jefferson, whose phrase “pursuit of happiness” the hosts especially consider. The hosts seek to understand the Declaration as a treatise with an original, historical intention, while also considering it from the transcendent moral principles of Jesus Christ revealed in the Holy Scriptures.
