What is the idea of religious freedom? Where does it come from? Why should it be protected?
In Christian Natural Law and Religious Freedom – A Foundation Based on Love, the True, and the Good, a new book published by Associate Professor Alex Deagon, these important questions for understanding religious freedom are usually addressed through secular and immanent foundations which are unable to sufficiently grapple with the religious nature of religious freedom – its connection with the divine.
Deagon proposes an alternative approach rooted in Christian Natural Law. In doing so, he offers a new foundation for religious freedom which properly considers it as a matter of both human and divine action.
This book will be of interest to those engaged in law and religion studies, in particular scholars of religious freedom, theology and jurisprudence and human rights.
Christian Natural Law and Religious Freedom – A Foundation Based on Love, the True, and the Good, is available as a Hardback and eBook from Routledge.
