About this episode

Douglas Wilson discusses environmental policy, moral issues, and recommends a novel.

In this episode, Douglas Wilson celebrates the Trump EPA’s rollback of the greenhouse-gas endangerment finding as a blow against economic overreach, then turns to hamartiology and the New Testament word miasma to reflect on moral pollution, false conversion, and the danger of falling back into sin. He closes with a warm recommendation of A Gentleman in Moscow as a deeply engaging novel about life in captivity under communism. For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
