Description
William Stringfellow's Free in Obedience is a call to freedom and revolutionary Christianity. He argues that Christians must look realistically at their own condition and the church's, and see how these relate to Christ's gospel.
The author examines how the church has become mired in secular idolatries and ideologies, both economic and political, and contrasts this with Christ's resistance to worldly power. Stringfellow emphasizes the meaning of the resurrection as the exercise of God's freedom and sets forth the victory over death and bondage given in Christ.
Only in the gift of Christ is the Christian free to offer his own life to the world, and thus experience true freedom in obedience.
