Episode Synopsis


Step into the time machine with R.J. Rushdoony’s Easy Chair No. 102—recorded July 30th, 1985—where we unravel the fascinating story of the early Irish Church: its radical equality, missionary zeal that fueled Africa’s Christian expansion, and the meticulous artistry behind the Book of Kells. Then, brace yourself for a sweeping survey of church government—from Caesaropapist East to the spirited West—and a spirited debate on episcopal, presbyterian, and congregational models. Along the way, Rushdoony challenges us with provocative insights on Augustine’s legacy, the pitfalls of over‑organization, and the enduring power of charismatic faith. Whether you’re a history buff, a theologian, or simply curious about how ancient structures still shape modern belief, this episode promises to both enlighten and inspire.
