I was fortunate to sit down with scholar and author Rabbi Ken Spiro to discuss the ramifications of the book The Hebrew Republic. Rabbi Spiro's writings and seminars can be accessed on kenspiro.com According to a common narrative, the rise of modern political thought in the West resulted from secularization with the exclusion of religious arguments from the discussion.
