Are Christians expecting too much from politics—or not enough? In the premiere episode of The Magistrate, James Baird and Josh Howard respond to historian D.G. Hart’s criticisms of Baird’s book King of Kings. They discuss whether Christian political expectations are realistic, whether America was historically Christian, and what the church has historically taught about government, political authority, and the role of magistrates. Drawing from the Reformed tradition, they examine how Christians should think about politics today.
