Bible and Religious Freedom

Summary/Abstract: Religious beliefs influence the acts and behaviors of religious people, overwriting most of the time any social or deontological norm. A brief overview into the dogmatic of diverse religions that refers directly to the religious freedom brings more light on these behaviors that could not be otherwise explained. Looking into the Christianity, things shouldn’t be different. According with the understanding of the most Christian denominations, Bible is the only norm for Christian living. Thus the Bible doctrines should reveal how to act in regard with religious freedom. Although the Bible is not considered a norm by society, but only by Christians, it could provide moral principles for those professing the Christian faith that are linked with a normative approach to religious freedom in the actual modernity. What is Bible saying about religious freedom? Of what relevance is this to the non-Christians? Are Christians aware of these prescriptions? These are extremely important questions for the contemporary plurireligious society, tensioned by numerous interreligious or religious originated conflicts. The aim is to find a solid Biblical base for the religious freedom approach in order for Christians to position in relationship with this issue.
