解説
The Most Sacred Freedom includes eight essays that were first presented at the 2014 A.v. Elliott Conference on Great Books and Ideas, the seventh annual conference sponsored by Mercer University's Thomas C. and ramona E. McDonald Center for America's Founding principles. Together, these essays explore the great principle of religious liberty by charting its development in the Western tradition and reconsidering its place at America's founding.
The book begins with a comparison between the flood accounts in Genesis and the Mesopotamian Atra-Has?s and advances all the way to the 2014 Supreme Court case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby. The intervening chapters examine the contributions of figures such as Emperor Julian, roger Williams, Cecilius Calvert, John Locke, Jean-Jacques rousseau, and the American Founders.
The major themes addressed include the theological and epistemological preconditions of religious liberty, the chief challenges to securing this liberty, the problematic but necessary role of religion in a free society, and the constitutional framework that has been handed down to us to help preserve this most sacred freedom.
Contributors to the volume are Steven Grosby, Jeremiah H. russell, Maura Jane Farrelly, Daniel Cullen, John Witte, Jr., Scott yenor, David ramsey, and Michael Novak.
