Does Religion Cause All Wars?
30 Years War
Season 5, Episode 17
A trope that's often thrown at Christians since 9/11 is that religion causes all wars. Stu, Tim and Joel are in the Third Space Studio to examine the oft-raised comment and contend that a deeper dive into statistics and world history paints a different picture.
They delve into where such arguments come from, how Christians can approach it and how to hold onto the evangelical line when doing so.
