In Session 2, "The Quest for Political Freedom," you will learn of historically significant events of the Christian church such as the rebuking of Theodosius and the Magna Carta.

The Birth of Freedom Video Bible Study by the Acton Institute:

Based on the popular documentary The Birth of Freedom by Jonathan and Amanda Witt, this seven-session video-based study shows the biblical roots of the concept of freedom and debunks the notion that Christianity held back the development of Western civilization. You'll learn about the historical development of the concept of freedom and see how it grows out of the Judeo-Christian worldview.

Secular elites have long dictated the terms of Western history—the Dark Ages, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Age of Reason. Along the way, they have convinced many that the West is free and prosperous in spite of our Christian heritage. The Birth of Freedom small group study provides you with an invaluable tool for countering this revision of history and grounding your faith in the biblical vision of freedom. These videos can be used for personal reflection or for group discussion with the companion PDF or printed participant's guide (sold separately).
