We didn’t make much progress in our study of Galatians last night – just two verses. Here’s a link to the mp3. We spent much of the time talking about freedom – in the Bible and in American culture. Beyond Galatians, we strayed to John 8. In American culture I mentioned the work of David Hackett Fisher – Liberty and Freedom – in response to a question about the difference between the two. (If you listen to the recording you hear that I misremembered his first name.) I also mentioned Isaiah Berlin and his concepts of Negative and Positive liberty.

Today I see this post from Ben Crosby that looks at similar territory.
