A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Already the most discussed and most important religious book of the decade." —David Brooks In this controversial bestseller, Rod Dreher calls on American Christians to prepare for the coming Dark Age by embracing an ancient Christian way of life. From the inside, American churches have been hollowed out by the departure of young people and by an insipid pseudo–Christianity. From the outside, they are beset by challenges to religious liberty in a rapidly secularizing culture. Keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House may have bought a brief reprieve from the state’s assault, but it will not stop the West’s slide into decadence and dissolution. Rod Dreher argues that the way forward is actually the way back—all the way to St. Benedict of Nursia. This sixth-century monk, horrified by the moral chaos following Rome’s fall, retreated to the forest and created a new way of life for Christians. He built enduring communities based on principles of order, hospitality, stability, and prayer. His spiritual centers of hope were strongholds of light throughout the Dark Ages, and saved not just Christianity but Western civilization. Today, a new form of barbarism reigns. Many believers are blind to it, and their churches are too weak to resist. Politics offers little help in this spiritual crisis. What is needed is the Benedict Option, a strategy that draws on the authority of Scripture and the wisdom of the ancient church. The goal: to embrace exile from mainstream culture and construct a resilient counterculture. The Benedict Option is both manifesto and rallying cry for Christians who, if they are not to be conquered, must learn how to fight on culture war battlefields like none the West has seen for fifteen hundred years. It's for all mere Christians—Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox—who can read the signs of the times. Neither false optimism nor fatalistic despair will do. Only faith, hope, and love, embodied in a renewed church, can sustain believers in the dark age that has overtaken us. These are the days for building strong arks for the long journey across a sea of night.

We have been indoctrinated with the lie that belief in God is irrational. As a result, the United States is rapidly becoming a post-Christian nation. At the current rate, by 2040 most Americans will no longer identify as Christian. Mark Stelter relies on his professional experiences as a lawyer, theologian, and former college professor to carefully examine secular materialism and clearly demonstrate that it is the theistic worldview—not the atheistic worldview—that is most supported by the evidence. Stelter explores a variety of topics that include the triumph of secularism in American culture, the shift in worldviews, the separation of church and state, the academic assault on religion, moral truth versus moral relativism, the intolerance of tolerance, and much more. Post-Christian Nation is a well-documented examination of how Christianity—not atheism—prevails when tested by reason, logic, and science.

Every week a terrorist attack, riot, or political scandal makes the headlines—and we feel the world around us shaking again. We struggle to separate truth from biased statements and hope from naïveté. We wonder how we got here and where these uncertain days will take us. One of the world’s top investigative reporters, John S. Dickerson, addresses this post-truth, post-Christian society in Hope of Nations. Hope of Nations shows us how and why the world is changing, where those changes will lead, and what it looks like to live like Christ in today’s society. With fascinating historical and political background, Dickerson helps us understand: The five major forces driving global change in the world today Why violent displays of Islam continue resurfacing The incoming moral, social, and political impact of American millennials Ten ways to respond biblically to trends shaping the world right now How to live with Christian courage and compassion in tumultuous times “Times of great social upheaval are times of great spiritual opportunity,” writes Dickerson. “You can live the adventure of this era with great purpose. You can know with confidence that the Creator of the universe appointed you to bring light and life to this moment in human history.” Among the youngest award-winning journalists and a seminary-trained pastor, Dickerson brings his reporting skills, generational perspective, and biblical insights to this groundbreaking book. Get a larger view of what is happening with your community, your government, and your international neighbors in this thoughtful look at global events in light of your unique Christian calling.

Why religion fell off the radar in Australia - and how it can get back on At the time of Federation 98% of Australians identified themselves as Christians. Now only 8% say they regularly go to Church. What's changed? How did Australia become a post-Christian nation and what part did the Churches play in their own decline? Author Roy Williams (God, Actually, In God they trust?) has long been an impassioned defender of Christianity. Here, he tackles the decline of the church head on, acknowledging that in many cases, inflexibility, negativity and a refusal to listen have led to a tarnished image. But he also argues that Australia had a long and often misunderstood Christian heritage. And without it, he says, we will become a society with no moral centre, a community where rampant materialism is the only rule. Offering a bold roadmap for the Church to change, Williams challenges atheists, agnostics and true believers to a genuinely open debate about the force of faith.

This Book Will Answer the Question: What Happened to Our Country? The short answer is simple. Christianity has lost its authority in our culture. Although most Americans say they believe in God, this claim is not reflected in our laws, morals, politically correct attitudes, universities, schools, or entertainment. All levels of society point to the fact that we are rapidly becoming a post-Christian nation. In this important work, Thomas R. Goehle examines contemporary culture while providing a comprehensive understanding of the historical precedents that led our country to this point. Not only secularists, but both committed and nominal Christians, are largely responsible for allowing Christianity to be marginalized because it was Christians themselves who accommodated and retreated from the advance of secularization over the past 150 years. The book reviews how Christianity was marginalized in higher education, the public school system, science, and culture, while secular modernism took its place. Today, Christianity continues to fall out of favor in our PC culture. This is due, in part, to the Christian worldview not being passed down to the generations behind us. Our culture is increasingly embracing PC tolerance, narcissism, hedonism, and moral relativism. Christianity no longer provides the cultural authority or moral underpinning for our nation. The result is that the foundation of our once great nation is crumbling. Rather than looking only to the past or present, however, the author looks to the future to see how our folly of leaving God behind places our country and its citizens in great peril. Lies and deception will be ubiquitous as we move closer to the end time apocalyptic events described in the book of Revelation. Economic collapse, martial law, war, and a move toward a totalitarian system of government are clear and present dangers. Unless Americans turn back to the God of the Bible, Goehle envisions a nation that is heading for disaster- a post-Christian apocalypse. Nearly twenty years in the making, America's Post-Christian Apocalypse is a must-read for those who want a genuine understanding of how our country lost its way, and how it can recover its foundations before it's too late.

In the fi rst few years of the new millennium, I felt the Lord impressing me to lead our congregation to begin prophetically declaring that America is a wonderful Christian nation. Since that time, ungodly voices have tried to convince us all that America has entered a post-Christian era, on the way toward collapse. During this period, state and federal leadership have become progressively anti-Christian. Immorality has become rampant. The fear of terrorist attacks is increasing. And civil disobedience, murder, and other crimes are rising. Don't lose hope. The Bible is the key to all substantial hope. Americans can recover the ability to feed themselves on the hope that God gives to us in the Bible; hope not only for the hereafter, but hope for this world as well. This book is about biblical eschatology (the study of endtime). God intended eschatology to give people hope and victory, in the darkest of times. No matter how bad things get, with biblical eschatology, Christianity will always bounce back, and America will bounce back with it. Our Heritage--Eschatological Hope for a Christian Nation will show you how to fi ght the good fi ght of faith and take part in the coming Jesus revival that will bless all nations and change the course of history before the rapture.

“The most exciting theological book I have read in many years. In some ways, it is a parallel to Karl Barth’s Römerbrief.”—RUDOLF BULTMANN “An unhesitating, unflinching analysis of an age which, Vahanian believes, has no concerns even to deny God...a cultural analysis of the religious, political, artistic, literary and societal movements of our era.”—PAUL RAMSEY “In his preface to The Death of God, Paul Ramsey, Professor of Religion at Princeton university, explains that we are now in the second phase of the period post-mortem Dei—the first phase was anti-Christian, ours is post-Christian...Vahanian’s message has to do with the ‘dishabilitation’ of the Christian tradition, with its replacement by bourgeois religiosity and a theology of ‘immanentism,’ with the desperate effort of Western culture to shake off the ‘crippling shackles’ of a superannuated piety. “The quality of mind which enters into this book is unique and fascinating...Vahanian is a fierce but eloquent prophet of the Lord.”—ROBERT E. FITCH, New York Times Book Review
