In his book The Five Laws of Liberty, author and educator Scott Hyland examines the biblical view of freedom and why it's so important for Americans to embody.
Hyland says in order for freedom to flourish within our relationships, every action should be governed by five concepts:
- Remember the past.
- Embrace the truth.
- Respect humanity.
- Practice self-control/restraint.
- Protect and serve others.
He argues that America has strayed from its founding, biblical principles, but by embracing the five laws of liberty we can "preserve life and prevent the extinction of our nation."
