Description
Adapted from an "Occasional Paper" written for the World Evangelical Fellowship by Paul Marshall, July 1996. This paper examines religious freedom in the Old and New Testaments, and in Christian history. The paper concludes that the task of governments is to deal justly and equally with all the people that God has placed in its authority, and that the promotion of religious freedom is an essential aspect of the government's role.
