Religious Freedom in a Secular Age: A Christian Case for Liberty, Equality, and Secular Government

4.70 out of 5 stars

Description

In a world where religious freedom is under attack from both sides of the political spectrum, how can we ensure that individuals are free to practice their faith without fear of persecution or coercion? In Religious Freedom in a Secular Age, Michael Bird presents a compelling case for the importance of protecting religious liberty for all, regardless of their beliefs. Bird, a renowned New Testament scholar, argues that true secularism is not about suppressing religious expression, but rather about creating a society where people of all faiths can coexist peacefully and respectfully. He dismantles the flawed arguments used to justify limiting religious freedom and outlines a biblical strategy for Christians to maintain their witness in a post-Christian society. But Bird's vision goes beyond mere tolerance, urging Christians to engage in a new era of apologetics that defends not only their own beliefs but also the freedom of all people to practice their faith. With a global perspective that critiques both militant secularism and the politicization of religion, Religious Freedom in a Secular Age is a timely and thought-provoking call to action, challenging readers to find common ground on the values of justice, mercy, and equality.
