Beskrivning

Undaunted Hope in a Post-Christian WorldWe live in a post-Christian world. Contemporary thought—claiming to be “progressive” and “liberating”—attempts to place human beings in God’s role as creator, lawgiver, and savior. But these post-Christian ways of thinking and living are running into dead ends and fatal contradictions.This timely book demonstrates how the Christian worldview stands firm in a world dedicated to constructing its own knowledge, morality, and truth. Gene Edward Veith Jr. points out the problems with how today’s culture views humanity, God, and even reality itself. He offers hope-filled, practical ways believers can live out their faith in a secularist society as a way to recover reality, rebuild culture, and revive faith. Explores major beliefs found in contemporary culture regarding how we relate to reality, our bodies, other people, and GodEngages with philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and J. G. HamannInteracts with alternatives that Christians and conservatives have offered as a way to rebuild cultureWritten as a follow-up to Gene Edward Veith Jr.’s book Postmodern Times
