Ebook: Contending for the Faith: The Church's Engagement with Culture (Provost) (Interpreting Christian Texts and Traditions Series, #1)

In this book Ralph Wood calls for churches to offer an unapologetically Christian witness to a post-modern world. The church is watching the complete destruction of those institutions and practices that once shaped human character toward fulfillment in goods larger than our own self-interest--the chief of these being the worship and service of God. Wood contends that Christian existence can never be taken for granted and so churches must seek to create a Christian culture that offers the world a drastic alternative to its own cultureless existence.
