Freedom of conscience, religious freedom and what they didn’t teach in Church History One - with Dr Sarah Irving Stonebraker

See this content in the original post

Today we explore the journey Tertullian to Thomas Jefferson or how the issues of Religious Liberty and Freedom of Conscience don’t actually spring out of the Enlightenment but from the pages of the New Testament.

Dr Sarah Irving Stonebraker has caused quite a splash this week with her Richard Johnston Lecture on Thursday night.

Sarah is a Senior Lecturer in Modern European History, and teaches in History and Political Thought at the University of Western Sydney.
