Christian Faith & Religious FreedomTEACH Services, Inc., 1996 - 124 pages "In an era when the American church is actively pursuing political power, Christian Faith and Religious Freedom provides a timely and important analysis of the biblical and christological basis of religious freedom. Dr. Norskov Olsen has achieved a remarkable work of Scripture and history alike on fundamental principles of religious liberty and church/state relations. Readers of all faiths will appreciate this important work, which fills a glaring void in the literature." -Alan J. Reinach, Esq. |
