Book Review: Preaching the Good News

The term "liberation" has a special meaning for Scanzoni and Hardesty. Instead of referring to an organization or a movement, the authors view liberation as a "state of mind" in which Christian women are free to grow, learn, and utilize their unique, God-given gifts (p.ll). An explicit assumption is that God came in Jesus to liberate persons, regardless of class, race, or sex. That liberation involves two steps. First, Christian women must realize that they have been set free. Second,' they must summon the courage to put their talents to work in the church and in society. Only by exercising these gifts can Christian women be "all they're meant to be."
