Summary

The ongoing war in Gaza has sent out reverberations in the political, military, and economic spheres. But what about the moral sphere? Curtis is joined by “founding friend” David French to examine the moral aftershocks of Gaza in two disparate spheres: the moral practice of war and the moral practice of free speech at universities. We examine why Christians should care about both spheres, and also uncover the surprising theological similarities between them.

think it's a testimony to the seismic impact of Gaza that it has sent

1:19.7

aftershocks into these two very disparate spheres, one focused on international

1:25.8

fears and the military and the other on the domestic practice of free speech.

1:30.9

And I wanted to do one good faith episode on the aftershocks in both of these
