The New Whiggery Podcast

Amid fierce debates over "liberalism," The New Whiggery Podcast explores classical liberty and its transcendent roots in early Anglo-Protestantism, with universal and contemporary application. Critics of liberalism deride it as intrinsically secular, socially acidic, and hyper-individualistic. The New Whiggery advocates a form of liberalism with an originally Christian/Protestant anthropology that cherishes liberty and human dignity for all. Early British Whigs, and later, America's Founders, fought for individual rights, including religious freedom and freedom of speech, against arbitrary power. Their struggles created an Anglo-American statecraft of constitutional limited government that is realistic about human nature and providentially optimistic about ongoing social reform. The New Whiggery cherishes our past while offering optimism for the future.
