Episode 435: TWC Commentary | The Limits of Liberalism - a podcast by Coram Deo Church Community

Freedom. Liberty. Rights. Democracy. These are the stock terms of our American political lexicon, and they come to us from the tradition known as liberalism. Whether right, center, or left, we’re all liberals in our political philosophy. However, as Christians, we need to embrace both the good and the limits of liberalism.
In a recent essay at Mere Orthodoxy, Bob highlights the major problem with a view of freedom that places individual rights and autonomy at the center. What David Brooks calls "autonomy-based liberalism" is in fact the only kind of liberalism there is once we abandon a Judeo-Christian framework.
