BP This Week: Heroes or Scapegoats?

Apr 3, 2020

John Stonestreet and Shane Morris talk about how Christians are responding to the coronavirus--and how even heroic efforts like those of Samaritan's Purse setting up a field hospital in New York City are being criticized by those with, shall we say, a certain bias against Christianity.

John and Greg also discuss at length the issue of church and state: Can states force churches to close? Are there historical precedents? When can--and should--even the Church obey the state in times of crisis, and how to we ensure that our freedom to assemble remains just that--a freedom?
