The Paradox of Freedom
Graham Tomlin New Paperback
Postscript summary
Even in our cynical age the idea of freedom can inspire passionate devotion and sacrifice. Tomlin investigates what kinds of social and personal liberties help us thrive. After tracing the concept’s development in Western culture he suggests that a Christian perspective, viewing freedom as a gift not a right, will enable the modern world to face its biggest challenges.
Product information
Full publisher description
Freedom is one of the most cherished ideals of Western culture. Yet that ideal is threatened from without and within in alarming ways in our increasingly polarised world. Could it be that at the heart of our secular vision of freedom there is a fatal flaw, which means it can never square the circle of personal liberty and social cohesion that we all long for? In this accessible, significant and deeply thoughtful book, Graham Tomlin argues that the Christian vision of freedom offers a way to think about liberty that can bring together both personal fulfilment and the health of community life in a way that secular versions have failed to do.
