Summary
In this chapter, I consider three attempts to articulate the special importance of religious liberty, each framed within an argument pointing to the ongoing importance of the Church to questions of political authority or the liberty of civil society. Each attempt – from John Finnis, Richard Garnett, and Nicholas Wolterstorff – is developed by scholars influenced and shaped by Christian thought.
