Synopsis

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.

Walker provides helpful wisdom that does not devolve into Christian nationalism. It is a se......more

Goodreads review by Caleb on May 26, 2021

As illiberal approaches to politics become more attractive for Christians frustrated with present cultural pathologies, Walker’s book is a timely reminder that the interior logic of the gospel favors a civic order which is committed to the common good while leaving room for members of the body polit......more

Goodreads review by Chase on January 13, 2023

This book from my understanding is a somewhat pioneer piece in the realm of Christian Ethics thus making it a very interesting read. Through advocating religious liberty in the state the church will have a more impactful witness for the Gospel. Walker is very comprehensive in his advocacy for religi......more

Goodreads review by Austin on August 02, 2021

Dr. Walker does an excellent job writing in an academic area that is largely untouched by scholarly comprehensive works. He shows clearly that religious liberty is a worthwhile political ethic for all individuals to hold while also showing the Baptist roots for religious liberty.......more
