As the contemporary protest movements in Hong Kong or Belarus remind us, throughout history people have struggled for freedom. Inherent in these cries for freedom and resistance to oppression is an underlying suspicion of authority. But what if freedom is simply one more manifestation of authority?
On Thursday, 18 November 2021 at 1400 UTC/GMT, Dr. David Koyzis, a Global Scholar with Global Scholars Canada, a Society Institutional Partner, who holds a PhD in Governmental and International Studies from Notre Dame University (USA), will explore the nature of freedom and authority in light of the image of God. He will argue that authority is not to be identified with mere power nor played off against freedom, and that is not a mere social construction but rather is resident in an office given by God himself at creation.
In preparation for the webinar, we encourage you to read the introduction to Dr Koyzis’ book, We Answer to Another (Pickwick Publications, 2014).
