Publisher's Description
Johnson believes Christian spirituality needs an intellectual recasting that takes seriously the life of ordinary people in a world shaped by modernity rather than the monastery by discerning the narrative of God's action in their midst.

“The great strength of this eminently readable work is its link between Scripture in a classical perspective and life. In an effortless way, Dr. Johnson takes the reader on a pilgrimage of faith that illumines the whole life.”
“Faith's Freedom is a refreshingly personal synthesis of key spiritual concepts written in a truly ecumenical way for the contemporary situation. By avoiding most technical terminology, it formulates for intelligent readers an outlook on God and the world that expresses many foundational insights of classic spirituality in terms understandable to the modern mindset. It translates basic notions like creation, freedom, revelation, sin, and faith into contemporary language, then applies them to prayer, power, possessions, anger, sexuality, evil, and life in the Spirit. Among the fluff that characterizes an unfortunate number of books on 'spirituality,' this tough-minded but enjoyable argument and appeal to the evidence of experience stands out from the crowd.”
