Subject: Christian Libertarian defenses
Hi Dr. Block,
I was wondering if you could point me to any specifically Christian works defending Libertarianism and less government intrusion, whether modern or early?
Most of what I run across tend to be either Theonomy or Christendom era treatises on how the government/magistratr should go about punishing heretics a la Bucer.
Thanks!
