The Superiority of an Evangelical Model of Religious Liberty: A Critique of Secular and Roman Catholic Conceptions
Ebook
Religious liberty is America's first freedom. But in recent years, challenges to religious liberty have abounded. For example, some claim that religious freedom promotes intolerance and bigotry, while others contend religious freedom condemns people to hell. And others weaponize religious liberty for culture warring. Nevertheless, evangelicals believe that religious liberty is fundamentally a matter of human dignity; thus, religious liberty is a right we must preserve for all people. This book will explore how evangelical anthropology, cosmology, and eschatology offer the most stable basis for religious freedom. Secular and Roman Catholic theories may positively contribute to religious liberty, but the evangelical model is superior because it answers fundamental questions left unanswered in other models.
“In this compelling volume, Daniel Trippie not only explains the importance of religious liberty, but he also defends the concept in such a winsome manner that even those who consider themselves to be non-religious will understand the significance of religious liberty in the public square for the common good.”
—David W. Jones, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
“I warmly commend my friend Daniel Trippie’s The Superiority of an Evangelical Model of Religious Liberty. Trippie surveys the competing paradigms to ground religious liberty and finds each wanting. In Christianity and Christianity alone does Trippie locate a durable ground for religious liberty’s protection. In addition to the contribution this book makes to the field of public theology, it is a great joy to see additional evangelical scholars give voice to a vital issue of social ethics.”
—Andrew T. Walker, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
