Since it's earliest inception the Christian movement has functioned as a radical counter-cultural entity, at its core rests a profound sentiment of freedom. Despite this truth, arriving at a single definition of the concept of freedom may prove an arduous task when considering the complex global political, religious, social, and economic landscape of the period between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.
