Catholic theologian Douglas Farrow and Lutheran political
\nscholar Andrew Busch join the show to discuss their recent essays
\non the coronavirus lockdown, and assess the reasons and prospects
\nfor civil disobedience.<\/p>\n
In \u201cThe Health-First Heresy,\u201d Farrow examines the responses of
\nCatholic and other Christian leaders to the state\u2019s orders to cease
\ncorporate worship. Whatever concessions the Church may make to the
\nstate as to the circumstances under which worship is held, she may
\nnot simply suspend her proper activities indefinitely until the
\nstate gives the word.<\/p>\n
In \u201cThe Limits of Expertise,\u201d Busch assesses where \u201cfollowing
\nthe experts\u201d (which ones? in what fields?) has gotten us so far and
\npoints out the dangers of pretending to replace statesmanship with
\nexpertise.<\/p>\n
