Mohler's Christian Nationalism

In this episode of Kingdom Polemics, host Aldo Leon interacts with Al Mohler's discussion on Christian nationalism and the role of the church in society. Leon, a Presbyterian pastor and theologian, agrees with some of Mohler's points, but also challenges his Baptist perspective on the relationship between the first and second table of the law, the confessional state, and the covenantal worldview. Leon argues that the Christian worldview is both the foundation and the threat of the American constitutional system, and that Christians should seek to influence the society with the whole counsel of God, both natural and revealed.

Some of the highlights or discussion points of this episode are:

• The primary, secondary, and tertiary effects of the gospel on the church and the world
• The difference between external and doxological obedience to the ten commandments
• The problem of unhinging Protestantism from covenantal confessionalism
• The use of both Scripture and creation order arguments in public policy
• The public role of the church and the preaching of the word of God to the larger world
