"FOR WHAT IS CALLED FREEDOM": JOHN KEBLE AND THE POLITICAL THEOLOGY OF 30TH JANUARY
In his 1831 sermon on the Anniversary of the Martyrdom of King Charles I, John Keble defended the commemoration against charges that it had "become superfluous and unmeaning" in a society defined by 'freedom' and 'liberty'. He notes how an empty, contentless concept of liberty disorders society: "Do not men, somehow, think of liberty, as of ... something the mere pursuing of which, for its own sake, is a part of virtue? ... Though men commit things worthy of death, yet if they be done for freedom’s sake, the world finds pleasure in them that do them."
