About this item
Much like a person waking from a decades-long coma only to meet a radically different world, evangelicals are just awakening to the reality that they have lost the culture war in this country.We are seeing the rapid deterioration and dismantling of a Judeo-Christian culture in Americaand believers are finding themselves in unfamiliar positions. Values once held sacred are being discarded. Freedoms once offered are being withheld. Biblical absolutes once embraced are being replaced by relativism. Trend lines, unless altered, point to accelerated cultural change and even greater drift from the historic roots of this country. As a result, there is a growing intolerance towards believers and their message. Increasingly, followers of Jesus are being viewed as narrow, bigoted, and hateful.
