The Baptist tradition stands in great peril of losing the cherished principles of the free exercise of religion, the freedom from political interference with faith, and the right of self-determination in all matters related to religion. It is God to whom we are ultimately responsible. Soul freedom, all freedom, and responsibility is Gods supreme gift to humanity. The dignity and respect afforded to persons comes from God as revealed in Scripture. Soul Freedom is composed of a series of essays that examine considerably controversial issues. This book comes at a time when the Baptist commitment to soul freedom feeds the deeper hunger of the hearts of millions of persons seeking authenticity in religion.
