I just did a podcast with J. R. Miller’s & Leroy Hill’s “Raze the Roof” podcast. We discussed Thomas Hobbes’s ethical views, and how these are related to his views of what is real (ontology) and how we know things (epistemology). We also looked at his religious views, which have been described as a type of “Christian atheism.”
Even though Hobbes died long ago (1679), his ideas still affect us today, including a political philosophy of power, leadership, and ethical narcissism. What can we as Christians do to help address how these views, whether for Christians to grow as disciples, or as we engage in evangelism?
