About this episode

The episode explores the implications of mankind claiming authority that belongs to God and the resulting cultural doctrines of sovereignty.

What happens when mankind claims the authority that belongs to God alone? Discover why every culture rests on a doctrine of sovereignty—and why misplaced sovereignty always produces tyranny instead of liberty.
