This participant's guide, designed for use with the Birth of Freedom video, helps ground your faith through a powerful telling of how individual rights and freedom was born from a Judeo-Christian worldview.

Based on the Acton Institute's popular documentary The Birth of Freedom, this seven-session participant's guide, designed for use with the Birth of Freedom DVD, shows the biblical roots of the concept of freedom and debunks the notion that Christianity held back the development of Western civilization. You'll learn about the historical development of the concept of freedom and see how it grows out of the Judeo-Christian worldview. Secular elites have long dictated the terms of Western history. Along the way, they have convinced many that the West is free and prosperous in spite of our Christian heritage. The Birth of Freedom video curriculum provides you with an invaluable tool for countering this revision of history and better grounding your faith in the biblical vision of freedom.Sessions include: 1.
