Social freedom means the elimination of social structures opposed to equality and justice. This is the admirable political aspiration of many activist Christians. But limiting salvation to social, racial, and sexual realms is as myopic as limiting it to personal soul-winning (McKnight 1995, 255–56). Paul’s notion of freedom cannot be collapsed into social and human processes. He thought Christian freedom could exist even as the Evil Empire continued to oppress subject peoples, like the Galatians.
