The Freedom of Authority: Essays in Apologetics is a book written by J. Macbride Sterrett and published in 1905. The book is a collection of essays that explore the concept of authority in religion and its relationship to individual freedom.

The essays cover a range of topics, including the role of tradition in religious authority, the relationship between faith and reason, and the challenges of religious pluralism. Sterrett draws on a variety of sources, including philosophy, theology, and literature, to make his arguments. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the intersection of religion and philosophy. Overall, The Freedom of Authority is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a fundamental question in religious life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
