Is taxation a form of slavery? What does the Bible actually teach about government, freedom and the limits of political power?
In this episode of More Christ, I’m delighted to be joined by Nick Watts, author of Taxation Is Slavery: The Biblical Case for Libertarian Politics, to explore his provocative argument for a Christian understanding of liberty.
At the heart of our conversation is a question: how should our allegiance to Jesus Christ shape our relationship with earthly rulers?
We consider Nick’s case alongside familiar passages such as Romans 13 and Jesus’ instruction to give Caesar what belongs to Caesar. What belongs to Caesar, and what belongs to God?
This is an invitation to think carefully about Scripture, political authority, property rights and our responsibilities towards our neighbours. Whether you agree with Nick’s conclusions or want to challenge them, I hope this conversation encourages you to examine the assumptions we bring to faith and politics.
