Bound to be Free: The Paradox of Freedom

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2017

Graham Tomlin, Bishop of Kensington, discusses the fraught concept of 'Freedom' in contemporary culture.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.

Recenzii

How fortunate we are to have Bishop Tomlin's book on freedom. He not only helps us remember how freedom has been understood in philosophy, political theory, and religious traditions, but he provides a theological account of freedom that is substantive and constructive ... This is a book that needed to be written and now it has.
Thinking about freedom has been going on for a long time, and Graham Tomlin does a wonderful job of engaging with the long tradition of secular and sacred consideration of the idea. These are weighty and important matters, and this new book is a valuable guide to how we got to our current understanding, and where we might want to go next.
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.
