Authentic Christian Freedom

Deconstructing the American Gospel of Liberty 

by Elizabeth L Hinson-Hasty

"With a timely treatment of freedom, Hinson-Hasty reaches to the heart of the culture war shaping American political and social life.  Recognizing that competing visions of freedom shape the political polarization of our moment, she offers a retrieval of authentic Christian Freedom through a reading of scripture, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Pauli Murray and Howard Thurman...With a normative concern for the vulnerable and a recognition of human interconnectedness, Hinson-Hasty challenges an American emphasis on liberty and personal autonomy as the highest political good.  Her approach is a critical resource for Christian communities looking to counter political polarization and the rise of Christian Nationalism."
