Showing results for "Liberty" in Christianity

Martin Luther was a German priest and professor of theology who initiated the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517.

In 1620, separatists from the Church of England set sail across the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. Understanding themselves as spiritual pilgrims, they left to preserve their liberty to worship God in accordance with their understanding of the Bible. There exists, however, an alternative, more dispiriting version of their story. In it, the Pilgrims are religious zealots who persecuted dissenters and decimated the Native peoples through warfare and by stealing their land. The Pilgrims' definition of liberty was, in practice, very narrow.

In his broadcasts on Radio Liberty, Fr Alexander Schmemann spoke to men and women behind the iron curtain who had endured the deprivation, persecution, and state-enforced propaganda of the Stalin years. But his words do not belong to that era alone; they are addressed just as urgently to our own time. He exposes the roots of the lies and misperceptions that abound in our age, and brings all to a proper perspective in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The tell-tale signs of the impending collapse of Western civilization are all around us: out-of-control national debt; corruption at every level of governmental bureaucracy; every major city suffering from rampant crime and lawlessness; general breakdown of Western education systems; and open borders allowing a tsunami of illegal drugs and human trafficking to flood our nations. Everywhere we look, there is an existential danger just waiting to upend centuries of civilization-building.

In his broadcasts on Radio Liberty, Fr Alexander Schmemann spoke to men and women behind the iron curtain who had endured the deprivation, persecution, and state-enforced propaganda of the Stalin years. But his words do not belong to that era alone. They are addressed just as urgently to our own time.

This is the first of two volumes in the Radio Liberty Talks collection, with a foreword by Rod Dreher and introduction by Serge Schmemann.

Elizabeth Elliot calls on us to examine more closely our own obedience to God, measuring it in terms of our experience of his freedom, grace, and love.

Two worlds moving toward an unavoidable reckoning. In the final years of the Inca Empire, Tawantinsuyu stands unrivaled-vast, disciplined, and bound together by sacred law. But when the Sapa Inca Huayna Capac dies unexpectedly, his sons, Atahualpa and Huáscar, are drawn into a ruthless civil war that will tear at the foundations of their world.

The Age of Revolution has traditionally been understood as an era of secularization, giving the transition from monarchy to independent republics through democratic movements a genealogy that assumes hostility to Catholicism. By centering the story on Spanish and Latin American actors, Pamela Voekel argues that at the heart of this nineteenth-century transformation in Spanish America was a transatlantic Catholic civil war.

Artificial intelligence is no longer merely a tool of innovation—it is the decisive terrain of a new global conflict. As rival powers race to dominate algorithms, data, and digital infrastructure, the world has entered a new AI cold war, one that will determine whether the future is governed by liberty or by machine-enabled tyranny. In The New AI Cold War, national-security analyst and bestselling author Robert L. Maginnis warns that this struggle is not hypothetical.

Give Me Liberty, Not Marxism examines what current American leaders like President Joe Biden and his globalist allies intend for America and the world, an outcome that may well usher in the prophetic end times. The evidence for this possible result comes from an objective review of the histories of past Marxist-regimes, accounts that are juxtaposed with the contemporary political proposals by those who seek a global “Great Reset” that could produce a radically different America which becomes subordinate to a godless, totalitarian one-world government ruled by the Chinese Communist Party.

Pastor Rusty Small challenges and encourages the Christian through biblical teaching at Liberty Baptist Church in Appomattox, Virginia.

For generations, Christians have been taught that tithing is a divine requirement, one that protects them from curses and unlocks God’s blessings. But is that truly what Scripture teaches under the New Covenant? In Tithing: Law or Liberty, Christopher Turney leads listeners on a powerful journey through the biblical history of tithing, from Abraham and Melchizedek, to the Mosaic Law, the priesthood, Malachi’s rebuke, and finally, the liberating truth found in Christ.

Bloomsbury presents Faith and Liberty by Alejandro A. Chafuen, read by Christopher Ragland. Most people think that free-market ideas and theories were first substanially developed in the eighteenth century by figures such as Adam Smith. In this revised edition of Faith and Liberty, Alejandro A...

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.

The hour is critical. The American republic is suffering its gravest crisis since the Civil War. Conflicts, hostility, and incivility now threaten to tear the country apart. Competing visions have led to a dangerous moment of cultural self-destruction. This is no longer politics as usual, but an era of political warfare where our enemies are not foreign adversaries, but our fellow citizens. Yet the roots of the crisis are deeper than many realize. Os Guinness argues that we face a fundamental crisis of freedom, as America's genius for freedom has become her Achilles' heel.
