Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity - Nancy Pearcey

Descriere

Does God belong in the public arena, or is religion solely a private matter? Pearcey makes a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth, but truth about all reality. (Practical Life) n nDoes God belong in the public arena of politics, business, law, and education? Or is religion a private matter only-personally comforting but publicly irrelevant?n nIn today's cultural etiquette, it is not considered polite to mix public and private, or sacred and secular. This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere-stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture.n nIn Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split, explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal. Ultimately it reflects a division in the concept of truth itself, which functions as a gatekeeper, ruling Christian principles out of bounds in the public arena.n nHow can we unify our fragmented lives and recover spiritual power? With examples from the lives of real people, past and present, Pearcey teaches readers how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks readers through practical, hands-on steps for crafting a full-orbed Christian worldview.n nFinally, she makes a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth but truth about total reality. It is total truth.n nThis new study guide edition is filled with fresh stories, examples, and illustrations. Based on questions and comments raised by readers of the book, it is ideal for individual or group study.n
