His brilliant book is both a thesis and a manual for churches willing to be 'responsible' in today's controversial Western societies.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eNimi Wariboko\u003c\/b\u003e, Boston University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Too often, we see our freedom in Christ as a kind of libertine Americanism where we can do whatever we want under the banner of empire. Thankfully, F?lix-J?ger has offered us a substantive alternative. To be free, it seems, is to be submitted to Christ. And this book paves a way forward to understand how that is more about freedom than anything a nation could ever construct on its own.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eA. J.

Written with conceptual clarity, academic rigor, and fresh insights, this work makes a significant contribution to public theology.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eHak Joon Lee\u003c\/b\u003e, Fuller Theological Seminary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book argues persuasively that the church must resist the idols of the liberal tradition. F?lix-J?ger creates a distinctively Pentecostal public theology that combats the pervasive free-market ideology in the church with a counternarrative of abundance.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eWolfgang Vondey\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Birmingham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"F?lix-J?ger elaborates on the conceptions of liberty that have infiltrated the church in one of the most succinct and accessible summations available. Utilizing powerful biblical imagery, he highlights the contemporary challenge confronting public theology: discerning true worship and counterfeit worship as manifested in our economic and social lives.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eChristopher Parkes\u003c\/b\u003e, Hillsong College, Australi\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 18, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52758184395059,"sku":"9781540969156","price":96.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ofkUCkj1IR9781540969156.webp?v=1764428267","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/problem-and-promise-of-freedom-a-public-theology-for-the-church-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
