Protestant Political Theory | Dr. Joe Rigney | New Saint Andrews College

In his talk, "Everyman's Guide to Protestant Political Theory," Dr. Joe Rigney emphasized the need for a robust understanding of natural law within a Protestant framework. He critiqued modern interpretations that fail to uphold clear distinctions between moral principles, arguing that the state's role should protect marriage by criminalizing sexual immorality. Rigney praised classic Protestant political thought for combining biblical principles with practical wisdom, allowing for a robust approach to governance. He underscored the importance of individual conscience in political theory, contrasting it with Catholicism's hierarchical structure, and concluded by advocating for a collaborative relationship between church and state.
