Dear friends

As I write this, we are now looking back on the pomp and circumstance of King Charles’s coronation. 

The media did their usual thing, mixing extraordinary images of pageantry and patriotism with a soundtrack of celebrity gossip, fashion notes and inane commentary. 

However, in this week’s episode (recorded in the days just before coronation), Phillip and I talk about why we have public events like coronations at all, why they are like weddings, and why the content and symbolism of this particular coronation reveals a lot about the Bible’s distinctive view of human government. 

Read on for an edited transcript, or click on play (above) to listen to the whole thing. 

Your brother
