A Christian Understanding of Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, and Democracy - David McIlroy
How and why are freedom of religion and freedom of speech increasingly under threat—and why should Christians care about defending these freedoms? Biblical and historical perspectives reveal why freedom of religion and speech matter not just for believers, but for the good of society. At the heart of the issue lies a deeper call to justice rooted in Scripture and a challenge to believers to think beyond self-interest as Christ’s witnesses in the world.

David McIlroy is a practising barrister in the UK and Ireland. He is a Global Distinguished Professor at the University of Notre Dame (USA) in England. He is convinced that justice matters enormously to God, and He wants Christians to work hard to see justice done more and more in situations around the world. Through his books (A Biblical View of Law and Justice, A Trinitarian Theology of Law, The End of Law, Ransomed, Redeemed, and Forgiven: Money and the Atonement), his website www.theologyoflaw.org, and many articles, David seeks to deepen people’s reflections on justice and to inspire others to take up the challenge of acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God (Micah 6:8).
