Religious hate speech and public order

Sometimes it can be dangerous speaking about Jesus
Thu 4 May 2017

Bible reference(s): Acts 4

In the first century, speaking about Jesus in public could be a dangerous exercise. The early disciples of Jesus faced opposition from both "church" and "state" - the Jewish and pagan religious authorities and the Roman secular authorities all tried to silence them.

In this talk, Michael Kellahan examines an event from the life of the early church where they were instructed to "shut up" about Jesus and his then-recent resurrection from the dead.

Michael Kellahan trained as a lawyer and heads Freedom for Faith, a legal think tank that protects and promotes religious freedom in Australia and beyond.
