Zusatztext Concise and very readable ... This is a great resource for any Christian wishing to understand the ideas behind a concept so often talked about! but frequently misunderstood. Informationen zum Autor Graham Tomlin is President of St Mellitus College, London. A graduate of both Lincoln College Oxford and Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, he is the author of a number of books including most recently Looking Through the Cross (Bloomsbury Continuum). In 2016 he was appointed Bishop of Kensington in the diocese of London. Klappentext 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.
