Gregory Baus, Aaron Cuevas, and Kerry Baldwin overcome 4 common objections to the compatibility of the Reformed Christian faith and libertarianism.
Question 1: What is the legitimate use of coercion according to libertarianism? Is it consistent with libertarianism to right an injustice that has nothing to do with self-defense?

Question 2: Does libertarianism reject civil governance as such? Doesn’t Scripture tell us that civil government should enforce morality?

Question 3: Doesn’t libertarianism hold to ‘atomistic’ individualism, meaning that societal communities are merely fictions?

Question 4: When it comes to the role of the civil magistrate, can Reformed libertarianism be consistent with the historical Reformed confessions?

I started learning about the people that shaped our conceptions of human rights, liberty, and prosperity and reading about their lives and ideas are like seeing flashes of light. They are aha! Moments bringing into focus what it means to live free.
As I've continued to dig into these things, I found a rich history of philosophy, economics, and even theology … dating all the way back to the ancients, making its way back through the middle ages and the Renaissance. It was at the heart of the Protestant Reformation, and the foundation for the American experiment. Today it hangs in the balance, not merely as an American relic, but as the spark of a potential global phenomenon.
Flashes of liberty is bringing these stories and ideas back to the forefront; it's breathing new life into them.
