This wide-ranging and provocative Q&A session brings together R.J. Rushdoony and Marshall Foster to address pressing questions about Christian responsibility in a broken world covering issues of global poverty, missions, liberation theology, political involvement, education, law and grace, civil religion, and cultural transformation. With candor and conviction, they challenge sentimental charity, passive faith, and shallow theology, arguing instead for a biblical vision of dominion rooted in God’s law, covenant faithfulness, and the lordship of Christ over every sphere of life. The discussion confronts hard realities from persecution of missionaries and manipulation of public institutions to the limits of obedience to civil authority calling Christians to informed action, moral courage, and faithful witness in both church and society.

R.J. Rushdoony and Otto Scott discuss modern society’s fear and denial of death, describing it as a cultural “pornography” and taboo. They contrast this with the Christian perspective, where death is accepted as part of life and a transition to eternal life, emphasizing the profound dignity and peace possible for believers even in dying.

They explore contemporary issues such as suicide, abortion, and euthanasia, linking them to a societal love of death and a rejection of maturity, responsibility, and God’s order. They also critique cultural trends like the obsession with perpetual youth, media distortions, and moral incoherence, arguing that without a spiritual center and acknowledgment of life and death, society collapses morally, spiritually, and socially.

He emphasizes that morality and life are inseparable: without faith and a commitment to God, ethical principles erode, leaving society vulnerable. Only a vigorous, pro-life Christian faith, grounded in action and obedience to God, can restore vitality and counter the pervasive cultural drift toward death, immorality, and decay.
