Summary


In this episode, Chase Davis interviews Dr. Gary Stewart, an associate professor of history, about his book 'Justifying Revolution,' which explores the role of American clergy in supporting the American Revolution. The conversation delves into the historical context of the clergy's arguments for political resistance, the influence of key figures like Jonathan Mayhew and John Witherspoon, and the theological underpinnings of their resistance to tyranny. The discussion also touches on the impact of the Stamp Act, the definition of tyranny, and the broader implications of political resistance in the Protestant tradition.
