We welcome Professor Bert Olivier of the University of the Free State in South Africa to examine the evolution of the term “liberal.” Are those who bear the label today truly aligned with its classical meaning, or has the concept undergone a fundamental transformation? What do these shifts reveal about contemporary understandings of freedom, authority, and the common good? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.
