Can colonialism be morally justified? Nigel Biggar explores the distinctions between colonialism and colonization, motivations behind European expansion, Sir John A.

Wow Aaron, on this of all topics the equanimity and respect-in-dialogue you model is breath-taking. And your guest seemed to do his best on that front as well. TBH I was starting to huff and puff at some of the content your guest was sharing, but your approach to the podcast was like a quiet insistent force in my ears saying 'LISTEN. Give him a fair hearing.' So I did.
