Importing the Third World | (Ep. 414)

About this episode

Douglas Wilson discusses immigration rates, the concept of repentance, and the spiritual reality as presented in Plato’s Revenge.

In this episode, Douglas Wilson returns to the question of immigration, arguing that the real issue is not immigration versus no immigration but rates of immigration. He then explores the morally neutral verb metastrepho, to turn, showing how turning from vice to virtue is repentance while turning the gospel is to pervert the gospel of Christ, before concluding with a review of Plato’s Revenge and its case that the spiritual world is a necessary, empirically demonstrable reality.
