Many also wonder whether religiously-informed speech and beliefs should be tolerated in the public square, and whether religions hinder freedom. In this volume, Wendell Bird reminds us that our basic freedoms are the important legacies of religious speech arising from the Judeo-Christian tradition. Bird demonstrates that religious speech, rather than secular or irreligious speech based on other belief systems, historically made the demands and justifications for at least six critical freedoms: speech and press, rights for the criminally accused, higher education, emancipation from slavery, and freedom from discrimination. Bringing an historically-informed approach to the development of some of the most important freedoms in the Anglo-American world, this volume provides a new framework for our understanding of the origins of crucial freedoms. It also serves as a powerful reminder of an aspect of history that is steadily being forgotten or overlooked-that many of our basic freedoms are the historical legacies of religious speech arising from Judeo-Christian faiths" -- $c Page [i]. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z English-speaking countries. 650 0 $a Freedom of speech $z English-speaking countries $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 6 $a Liberte religieuse $z Anglophonie. 650 6 $a Liberte d'expression $z Anglophonie $x Christianisme. $x Christianisme. 650 7 $a Freedom of expression $2 fast 651 7 $a Great Britain $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bird, Wendell R. $t Religious speech and the quest for freedoms in the Anglo-American world $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY, USA : Cambridge University Press, 2023 $z 9781009090766 $w (DLC) 2022045913 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010852.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3576DF46E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
