PDF-(BOOS)-The Magna Carta of Humanity: Sinai\'s Revolutionary Faith and the Future of Freedom

In these stormy times loud voices from all fronts call for revolution and change But what kind of revolution brings true freedom to both society and the human soul Cultural observer Os Guinness explores the nature of revolutionary faith contrasting between secular revolutions such as the French Revolution and the faithled revolution of ancient Israel He argues that the story of Exodus is the highest richest and deepest vision for freedom in human history It serves as the master story of human freedom and provides the greatest sustained critique of the abuse of power His contrast between Paris and Sinai offers a framework for discerning between two kinds of revolution and their different views of human nature equality and liberty Drawing on the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures Guinness develops Exodus as the Magna Carta of humanity with a constructive vision of a morally responsible society of independent free people who are covenanted to each other and to justice peace stability and the common good of the community This is the model from the past that charts our path to the future There are two revolutionary faiths bidding to take the world forward Guinness writes There is no choice facing America and the West that is more urgent and consequential than the choice between Sinai and Paris Will the coming generation return to faith in God and to humility or continue to trust in the all sufficiency of Enlightenment reason punditry and technocracy Will its politics be led by principles or by power While Guinness cannot predict our ultimate fate he warns that we must recognize the crisis of our time and debate the issues openly As individuals and as a people we must choose between the revolutions between faith in God and faith in Reason alone between freedom and despotism and between life and death.
