Speaking Bold Words Carefully to a Society Sensitive to Words

Abstract

Freedom of speech is the subject of intense discussion in our society and the world in general. There are many who may come to similar conclusions to where we will be led by Scripture, but we must recognize where they are coming from and how we maintain a special tension that holds up both freedom and restraint together at once. This thesis will demonstrate that while there is growing tension about the extent of freedom of speech in America, the Bible is clear that pastors must speak boldly and carefully as they do the work of the gospel.
