The Global Public Square: Religious Freedom and the Making of a World Safe for Diversity

Published by InterVarsity Press in 2013. Guinness proposes religious freedom, which he calls soul freedom, the freedom of conscience for people of all faiths and none, as the only basis on which people who differ deeply can live together peacefully. He sets out what he calls a civil global public square in which every faith can enter public life on equal terms. The book draws on his work as the leading drafter of the Williamsburg Charter and as the primary drafter of the Global Charter of Conscience, published at the European Parliament in 2012, and it extends to the world the argument of The Case for Civility.
