Description

A Private and Public Faith by William Stringfellow is a powerful critique of self-serving religiosity in contemporary American society. The author argues that the authentic life of the Word of God should operate freely in the church and in the world.

Stringfellow's central idea is that God is present in all aspects of human history, including our individual experiences and collective anxieties. He writes, "In other words, the most notorious, plain, and victorious truth of God is that God participates in our history -- even yours and mine."

This profound yet simple exposition offers a hopeful vision for individual, church, and society, one that emphasizes freedom and safety in the face of uncertainty.
