Ep. 88: Was Jesus an Economist? What Can the Bible Teach Us About Human Society?

The Biblical Anarchy Podcast

In this episode, I respond to a one-star review criticizing my interpretation of the parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20). The review accuses me of neglecting proper biblical scholarship and pushing an economic agenda. But is that a fair critique?

Join me as I break down the review, address the concerns raised, and explore the principles of biblical exegesis. We'll examine different interpretive lenses—moralistic, theological, redemptive, and fulfillment perspectives—while uncovering the parable's core message about God's kingdom. Along the way, we'll also consider its secondary implications for property rights and labor value. This episode isn't just a response to criticism—it's a deep dive into how Scripture, economics, and anarchist thought intersect.
