"Western society tends to think of freedom purely in terms of the absence of restriction. The idea is that if we remove all constraints, we end up with freedom. So the imposition of rules and boundaries is a restriction of freedom, by definition. But in the Bible, real freedom is not the absence of any and every constraint, but rather, the presence of the right kind of constraint. Removing a fish from water does not give it more freedom, but less. It is designed to live in the water, not apart from it. Freedom from water is a removal of constraint, but it is also (for a fish) a complete misunderstanding of what freedom really is. Our own true freedom is only found when we are in the environment which we were designed to flourish in."
In the United States, both Republicans and Democrats chafe under the restraints of law, though the laws that each group rebels against are different. Anarchy (removing all laws) is not the solution.
Overall, I found the book less substantive than I would like, but I have highlighted a few passages for re-reading in the future. ( )
