He emphasizes the risks of placing undue trust in governmental authority, highlighting the potential for incompetence and malice in political leaders.
Dr. Shafer responds by challenging Dr. Miller's call for neutrality, arguing that Christians must actively promote their beliefs in the public square. Dr. Harmon explores the implications of governance under natural law, emphasizing the importance of moral clarity in political engagement. Meanwhile, Doug Wilson raises concerns about the consequences of a purely neutral stance, questioning whether it effectively addresses the challenges faced by Christian communities today." from the video introduction
