Welcome back to Against the Mountains of Madness! Jason and John C. Wright kick off Season 3 with a bold question: what would a truly Christian society look like?
Drawing on a striking passage from C.S. Lewis, they explore visions of a world without parasites or rent-seekers, where work produces genuine good, luxuries are tempered by simplicity, family bonds are honored, and public life reflects courtesy, obedience, and cheer. Along the way, they dig into questions of culture, politics, law, economics, marriage, and morality—sometimes challenging, sometimes controversial, but always thought-provoking.
Highlights from this episode:
📖 C.S. Lewis’s vision of Christian commonwealth
⚖️ Work, wealth, and the problem of “rent-seekers”
👨👩👧 Family, authority, and obedience in a healthy society
🎶 Singing, rejoicing, and rediscovering a culture of joy
🏛️ Law, justice, and mercy in a Christian commonwealth
This is not utopia—it’s a vision rooted in history, theology, and lived human struggle. Whether you find it inspiring or unsettling, this conversation invites you to imagine alternatives to the “empire of lies” we live in today.
👉 New season, new ideas, same uncompromising conversations. Welcome back!
