Jerry Aveta's When Liberty Enslaves is an exploration of the chaotic relationship between religion and politics in the USA, as well as a call for focusing on the importance of true freedom and making wise political decisions. Since Jerry grew up in a predominately white New Jersey community in a second-generation Italian family, his reality was distant from the plight of blacks in the USA. Fortunately, he became more aware of this issue after witnessing George Floyd's death in 2020. From his personal views on slavery and the struggles of black Americans today to messages about Christian values, Jerry shares thought-provoking essays that address various political, social, and religious problems.
By looking into the history of the USA and events from Lincoln's time, the book exposes how views of faith can alter over time, especially concerning the changing of a nation’s political landscape. The logical essays are presented with convincing arguments and enlightening ideas. For example, the book highlights the irony of encouraging slavery in a nation that prides itself on the freedom of its people. Several other contradictions are explored, with Jerry Aveta examining the worlds of religion and politics. Also, readers will benefit from the diverse religious verses and interpretations. These elements are complemented by the author's personal stories, which highlight his growth from being a regular churchgoer to questioning what he's being taught in church and arriving at his own conclusions about religion.
Ultimately, When Liberty Enslaves gives us a chance to unlearn dogmatic ideologies and embrace rational perspectives. It's a must-read for history fans and those who care about preserving democracy and freedom in the USA.
