A PRIVATE AND PUBLIC FAITH
Stringfellow, William
Eerdmans, 1962
93 pages

This is a prophetic and articulate message of concern for the weakness of the Christian church amid the brokenness of modern America. Stringfellow perceives that the church has turned inward, is far too self-serving and has been seduced by the “separation of church and state.” In the introduction he declares, “Religion has virtually nothing to do with God and has little to do with the practical lives of men in society” (p. 8). His critique of postwar success, economic wealth and American power is clear, strong and rooted in a passion for the church to be a people rooted in biblical faith, not cultural comfort and ease.
