Christians do not trust freedom. As author Steve Brown explains in
this brave new book, they prefer the security of rules and
self-imposed boundaries, which they tend to inflict on other
Christians. Brown asserts that real freedom means the freedom to be
wrong as well as right. Christianity often calls us to live beyond
the boundaries, bolstered by the assurance that we cannot fall
beyond God's love. Freedom is dangerous, but the alternative is
worse -- boxing ourselves up where we cannot celebrate our unique
gifts and express our joy in Christ. Each of the book's eleven
chapters explores a common pharisaic, freedom-stifling tendency,
then opens the door to the fresh air of a remedial liberty. A
reader's delight, "A Scandalous Freedom" sometimes shocks with
challenges to prevailing wisdom, but it follows up with compelling
validations of our need to celebrate real, unstinted freedom in
Christ.
