Pastor Mark Driscoll says you can't be a Bible-believing Christian and a socialist, and that "thou shalt not steal" settles the question. This week, we take that argument apart: what the Ten Commandments actually presuppose, what the eighth-century prophets had to say about creditors and land consolidation, and why the economics of the New Testament look nothing like Driscoll's. Ancient Israel and Judah weren't running a capitalist economy or a socialist one, but the text has a great deal to say about who gets protected and who gets ground down. _______________________________________________ Get your Data Over Dogma merch at our online store: https://data-over-dogma-shop.fourthwall.com/ _______________________________________________ Support Data Over Dogma and get every episode early and ad-free, plus exclusive bonus content — become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma _______________________________________________ Listen to the podcast on every app: https://pod.link/1681418502 _______________________________________________ Follow us: Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/dataoverdogmapod TikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@data.over.dogma.pod Threads — https://www.threads.com/@dataoverdogmapod X — https://x.com/data_over_dogma Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod _______________________________________________ Get Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book, The Bible Says So: https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/bible-says-so-9781250347466/ _______________________________________________ Chapters: 0:00 Welcome and Twisted Scripture 0:48 Who Is Mark Driscoll? 1:46 The Claim: No Christian Socialists 2:52 Does Ownership Prove Capitalism? 3:31 What Socialism Actually Means 5:16 Fire Departments and Safety Nets 5:55 Ancient Economies, Modern Categories 6:53 The Generational Wealth Argument 9:28 Sell What You Own 10:07 Prophets Against Predatory Lending 11:44 Writing From Outside of Power 13:10 The Ten Commandments Problem 15:04 The Eighth Century Debt Crisis 17:23 Jubilee, Gleanings, and Deuteronomy 19:25 "Taxation Is Theft" 20:50 Acts 4 and 5: Communalism 21:31 Individual Charity vs Government 24:00 Render Unto Caesar 25:30 Why Churches Aren't Enough 27:31 Wealth for Everybody 28:11 Wrap-Up _______________________________________________ #DataOverDogma #BibleScholarship #MarkDriscoll #BiblicalEconomics #TenCommandments
