Book excerpt: ". . . Christ, Capital and Liberty: A Polemic is a spirited and detailed defence of the fundamental compatibility of Catholicism and Austro-Libertarianism. . . . "[T]he multiple, mostly short, chapters . . . provide so many insights, engage the perspectives of so many thinkers and attack the central topic of the compatibility of Catholicism and Austro-Libertarianism from so many angles that no reader can fail to achieve a greater insight into the matter after reading it than he had before he began." - From the Foreword by Gerard N. Casey MA, LLM, PhD, DLitt., Professor Emeritus, University College Dublin, Associated Scholar, The Mises Institute, Auburn, Alabama, Fellow, Mises UKHostility to markets can take many forms, not only that of the frankly socialist specter haunting America. Sometimes it's disguised as Christian piety. Exemplary of this is Catholic polemicist Christopher A. Ferrara's ignorant attack on the Austrian School of Economics (ASE) as incarnated in his 2010 The Church and the Libertarian. Championing Distributism and the social democracy that's vended under the label "Catholic Social Teaching," Ferrara claims that the ASE is morally and intellectually at variance with Catholicism. Anthony Flood (Herbert Aptheker: Studies in Willful Blindness) responded with anarcho-catholic, a blog on which he argued for the compatibility, even harmony, that Ferrara denied. His book is an object lesson in how a Christian ought not to conduct controversy, and Flood counts the ways. Believing that the evidence and arguments marshaled in his blog posts should have a wider platform, Flood has resurrected them as Christ, Capital and Liberty: A Polemic. Included are several of Flood's well-received essays: on Lord Acton as a libertarian Catholic; a review of The Church and the Market by Thomas Woods (Ferrara's former collaborator); and a defense of the idea of international "anarchy" against David Ray Griffin's argument that it is a "cause of war." Introducing them is Flood's uncompromising criticism of the pro-abortion stance of his late mentor and friend, the Dean of the ASE Murray N. Rothbard. In his preface Flood outlines his current views, which move beyond (without denying the insights of) Austro-Libertarianism (which is theologically neutral) while suggesting a Biblically based attitude toward the politics in the present dispensation as ultimately futile, if inevitable.

Book Liberty in the Things of God

Download or read book Liberty in the Things of God written by Robert Louis Wilken and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the leading historians of Christianity comes this sweeping reassessment of religious freedom, from the church fathers to John Locke In the ancient world Christian apologists wrote in defense of their right to practice their faith in the cities of the Roman Empire. They argued that religious faith is an inward disposition of the mind and heart and cannot be coerced by external force, laying a foundation on which later generations would build. Chronicling the history of the struggle for religious freedom from the early Christian movement through the seventeenth century, Robert Louis Wilken shows that the origins of religious freedom and liberty of conscience are religious, not political, in origin. They took form before the Enlightenment through the labors of men and women of faith who believed there could be no justice in society without liberty in the things of God. This provocative book, drawing on writings from the early Church as well as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, reminds us of how "the meditations of the past were fitted to affairs of a later day."

  • ISBN : 1498280951
  • Pages : 160 pages

Download or read book Called to Freedom written by Elise Daniel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservatism, Republican politics, and traditional Christianity are thought by some to go together like baseball and apple pie. Yet, for a growing number of people, libertarian political thought provides an alternative to the traditional Christian right. That number includes the six young authors of this book who explore and expound the case that one can be both a Christian and a libertarian. Called to Freedom explores the major points of tension between the Christian faith and political liberty to demonstrate why the two can coexist in harmony. Through their own personal experiences, and from six different perspectives, the authors offer both thoughtful arguments and encouragement to anyone navigating the space between Christianity and libertarianism. It is in that space that the authors have found a home, one that prioritizes the kingship of Jesus Christ and the inherent dignity of the people created in his image. If you are a Christian exploring libertarian thought, or if you feel caught between your Christian beliefs and libertarian political instincts, this book is written for you.

Book Liberty for All

  • Author : Andrew T. Walker
  • Publisher : Brazos Press

  • ISBN : 1493431153
  • Pages : 272 pages

Download or read book Liberty for All written by Andrew T. Walker and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians are often thought of as defending only their own religious interests in the public square. They are viewed as worrying exclusively about the erosion of their freedom to assemble and to follow their convictions, while not seeming as concerned about publicly defending the rights of Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and atheists to do the same. Andrew T. Walker, an emerging Southern Baptist public theologian, argues for a robust Christian ethic of religious liberty that helps the church defend religious freedom for everyone in a pluralistic society. Whether explicitly religious or not, says Walker, every person is striving to make sense of his or her life. The Christian foundations of religious freedom provide a framework for how Christians can navigate deep religious difference in a secular age. As we practice religious liberty for our neighbors, we can find civility and commonality amid disagreement, further the church's engagement in the public square, and become the strongest defenders of religious liberty for all. Foreword by noted Princeton scholar Robert P. George.
