About this episode

This episode discusses the Christian idea of equality as reflected in the Declaration of Independence and the Bible.

The 250th anniversary of American Independence brings to mind a key statement in the Declaration: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal". This is a very Christian idea. We often forget that the opening chapter of the Bible describes humanity as being created in the image of God. Find out more in today's podcast.
