Liberty in the Things of God

From the early Christian apologists to the thinkers of the 17th century, this book offers a comprehensive look at the historical development of religious freedom and liberty of conscience. It emphasizes that the origins of these ideas are rooted in religious beliefs rather than political movements, highlighting the enduring influence of faith-based perspectives on the concept of justice. Drawing on writings from the early Church through the Enlightenment era, the author explores how past debates continue to resonate today.
