Discovering the Vision in Beth Moore\u27s Breaking Free Message: Applying Bormann\u27s Fantasy Theme Analysis to Evaluate the Message

Abstract

Beth Moore, Christian speaker and author, has become a prominent figure in Christian circles. She ministers to over a million people a year with her messages. Breaking Free is her life message. This project analyzes 6 of 11 messages from Breaking Free. Using Bormann\u27s Fantasy Theme Analysis, seven fantasies emerged from the messages, which yielded a rhetorical vision that describes what Beth Moore believes a woman should be like after hearing her message. After that analysis, the fantasies where compared to evangelical Christian doctrine. That analysis determined that Moore\u27s underlying message is valid and acceptable to the Christian audience she is trying to minister too
