Synopsis

This book is an engaging collection of interviews between the author and the enigmatic Dr. Stiggins, whose radical views on Protestantism and democracy provide a fresh perspective on our past, present, and future. Sharing his disdain for the traditional reverence given to figures and institutions of the past, the author encourages readers to question the validity of a society indebted to the aristocracy, the church, and even the monarchy, using the lens of the "free church" movement to challenge entrenched power structures. These thought-provoking conversations delve into topics such as the American meat-packing industry scandals and the horrors of European colonialism, re-evaluating their place within the author's vision of a truly democratic and just society. Ultimately, this book serves as a clarion call to critically examine our current societal constructs and strive for a more equitable and fair world.
