I am joined today by John Slaughter and Charles Haywood to talk about the whole subject of Christians and their relationship to violence. As our world becomes more tumultuous and unstable, it seems like this issue is pressing upon us more and more. Its a complex subject that makes many of us uncomfortable. That is probably a good thing. But we live in a world of sin and evil. Violence is an ever present reality. When Europe was dominated by Christianity, violence did not disappear. Christians...

Oswald Spengler offers an interesting insight that helps us understand our time and the challenge we face. We are a merchant people. But living cultures are, at their heart, warrior societies.

For anyone who is paying attention, it is not hard to get the sense that the European right is different from the North American right, especially the American right. I invited on to help us get a better understanding of the dynamics of the European Right, its history and development, the issues at play, and the role that the Christian faith plays in right wing politics in Europe today.
