Summary: Is the Western church captive to a flawed understanding of freedom? Steven Félix-Jäger argues that the church's embrace of liberal notions of freedom has led to syncretic idolatry. This book offers a critical examination of voluntarist freedom and free-market reasoning within the church, challenging it to resist these idols and embrace a covenantal theology of abundance. Félix-Jäger constructs a Pentecostal public theology of renewal, elevating hospitality, generosity, grace, and social responsibility. Discover how the church can be a faithful witness in any political environment by embodying love, generosity, and reconciliation. This book is a must-read for Christians seeking to live as 'dual citizens' of both the kingdom and the world, protecting their heavenly allegiance while engaging in public life.
