Guinness was born in China to medical missionaries and raised in England. He holds a doctorate degree from Oriel College, Oxford, has been a guest scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies and the Brooking's Institution, and is the author of over 25 books. <\/p>\n
In an interview with The Christian Post, Guinness talks about his new book, immigration, the role of religion in a free society, \"ordered liberty,\" and why the tea party and Occupy Wall Street movements have more in common than you might think. <\/p>\n
The following is an edited transcript of that interview: <\/p>\n
CP: What was your main purpose for writing this book? <\/p>\n
Guinness: I think the deepest issue in America is the crisis of freedom. I'm a strong believer in St. Augustine's idea that you judge a nation by what it loves supremely. And there's no question that, over many centuries, what Americans love supremely is freedom. So I think you can judge the health of a nation by the health of freedoms today. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
