Mandatory Behavior - Rights in a Pandemic. Clifford R. Goldstein March/April 2021. Government accommodation of religious practices has been an enduring pillar of American liberty. In Hobbie v.

THE COST OF FREEDOM

The cost of freedom is beyond words. So is the cost of exploitation wherein men and women lose their freedom to think, to worship, to invent. Such are forced to travel under the dark cloud of totalitarianism, no matter what name it might go by. The purchase of freedom liberates the human spirit and frees citizens, worshipers, to

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS CODE The Ten Commandments Code. Lincoln E. Steed July/August 2006. Well, at least the title caught your attention—a sure thing at a time when everything seems saturated with talk of the Da Vinci Code. Of course Leonardo da Vinci was a known cryptic: his notes were written backward in mirror-image fashion. THE RISE OF DOMINIONISM AND THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT Yet this mind set signals more than just widespread evangelical support for a president who has professed to be a Christian. It actually dovetails neatly with the dominionist philosophies seemingly espoused by modern-day evangelicals such as Pat Robertson, that is, the belief that Christians are destined to take over and rule the world by taking "dominion" over the political process and MARCUS AURELIUS, ENLIGHTENED PERSECUTOR Marcus Aurelius, Enlightened Persecutor. Few emperors of Rome possessed the learning and refinement of Marcus Aurelius. Power and pomp meant little to him; his great passion was for justice.

In A.D. 135, at the end of the Jewish rebellion against Roman domination, the emperor Hadrian passed laws forbidding circumcision, the keeping of the Sabbath, and the study or teaching of the Torah.

One instance of liberty, fundamental to the religious philosophy of the Old Testament, is the liberty of the collective will. The relationship between God and a people—the 12 tribes of Israel—is based on the conclusion of a covenant, not unlike a legal agreement between two parties. The terms of the agreement, originated THE TWO TABLES OF THE LAW The Two Tables of the Law. Alan J. Reinach May/June 2005 For centuries Protestants have found a convenient division between the first and second tables of the ten-commandment law. Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island, was the first American to associate two concepts: the separation of church and state and the two tables of the law.

ALIENS FOR THEIR FAITH Aliens for Their Faith Robert J. Hendricks III July/August 2010. T here is much religious intolerance in this new, twenty-first century.

After fighting for its own freedom from Ethiopia for more than 30 years, this Marxist regime has forced a peace-loving community of Christians to become little more RACE AND LIBERTY IN AMERICA Race and Liberty in America Christopher Banks January/February 2012. J onathan Bean has put together a phenomenal work with Race and Liberty in America: The Essential Reader.For me, an African-American who interned with my church's religious liberty department while I was studying law, the book proved to be an amazing read, and I highly

recommend it.

THE BLACK-ROBED REGIMENT The Black-Robed Regiment. by Gregory W. Hamilton January/February 2011. G lenn Beck made quite an impact with his Washington rally this year. It led many to comment that he seemed to be positioning himself as a leader of the conservative Christian political spectrum. It has been noted that Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and David HOW TOLERANT IS ISLAM? How Tolerant Is Islam? Reuel S. Amdur November/December 2016. Islam, like Christianity and Judaism, is not of one mind about religious liberty and the rights of minorities. The history of European Christianity is replete with ghastly tales of horror, with Christians persecuting Christians and

SECTION 295-C

Section 295-C May/June 2011. O n one level it sounds so modern, so Western, so civilized: "Section 295-C" of the "Pakistani Criminal Code." On the other hand, as interpreted in the courts, it sounds like something from the Middle Ages, because, if violated, "Section 295-C" can lead to a death sentence.
