Authentic Christian Freedom: Deconstructing the American Gospel of Liberty - Elizabeth Hinson-hasty

Descriere Authentic Christian Freedom: Deconstructing the American Gospel of Liberty - Elizabeth Hinson-hasty

\nA timely exploration of how different concepts of freedom threaten to tear apart our churches and our society \n \nDrawing on both her scholarship and her personal experiences growing up amid resurging religious fundamentalism, Hinson-Hasty traces how competing visions of what freedom means have been weaponized in today's culture wars. Is freedom the rugged individualism celebrated in various media? Is freedom always freedom from something: other people, the government, the law? \n \nFrom reframing the Exodus story to recasting the meaning of freedom as understood in US culture today, Hinson-Hasty includes insights from theology and ethics to provide a multi-dimensional basis for an authentic Christian understanding of freedom, one based on mutual responsibility with and care for others. \n \nAuthentic Christian Freedom is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand and heal our divided society.\n
