Description

How and why are freedom of religion and freedom of speech increasingly under threat—and why should Christians care about defending these freedoms? Biblical and historical perspectives reveal why freedom of religion and speech matter not just for believers, but for the good of society. At the heart of the issue lies a deeper call to justice rooted in Scripture and a challenge to believers to think beyond self-interest as Christ’s witnesses in the world.
