The intellectual and political elite of the West is nowadays taking for granted that religion, in particular Christianity, is a cultural vestige, a primitive form of knowledge, a consolation for the poor minded, an obstacle to coexistence. In all influential environments, the widespread watchword is “We are all secular” or “We are all post-religious.” As a consequence, we are told that states must be independent of religious creed, politics must take a neutral stance regarding religious values, and societies must hold together without any reference to religious bonds. Liberalism, which in some form or another is the prevailing view in the West, is considered to be “free-standing,” and the Western, liberal, open society is taken to be “self-sufficient.” Not only is anti-Christian secularism wrong, it is also risky. It's wrong because the very ideas on which liberal societies are based and in terms of which they can be justified—the concept of the dignity of the human person, the moral priority of the individual, the view that man is a “crooked timber” inclined to prevarication, the limited confidence in the power of the state to render him virtuous—are typical Christian or, more precisely, Judeo-Christian ideas. Take them away and the open society will collapse. Anti-Christian secularism is risky because it jeopardizes the identity of the West, leaves it with no self-conscience, and deprives people of their sense of belonging. The Founding Fathers of America, as well as major intellectual European figures such as Locke, Kant, and Tocqueville, knew how much our civilization depends on Christianity. Today, American and European culture is shaking the pillars of that civilization. Written from a secular and liberal, but not anti-Christian, point of view, this book explains why the Christian culture is still the best antidote to the crisis and decline of the West. Pera proposes that we should call ourselves Christians if we want to maintain our liberal freedoms, to embark on such projects as the political unification of Europe as well as the special relationship between Europe and America, and to avoid the relativistic trend that affects our public ethics. “The challenges of our particular historical moment”, as Pope Benedict XVI calls them in the Preface to the book, can be faced only if we stress the historical and conceptual link between Christianity and free society.

Why do white Protestants in America embrace a president who seems to violate their basic standards of morality? The answer, Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry argue, is "Christian nationalism," the belief that the United States is -- and should be -- a Christian nation. Knowing someone's stance on Christian nationalism, this book shows, tells us more about his or her political beliefs than race, religion, or political party. Drawing on national survey data and interviews with Americans across the political spectrum, Taking America Back for God illustrates the tremendous influence of Christian nationalism on debates about the most contentious issues dominating American public life.

"When I finally made the right decision and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, I was sure I was on the right path. Then I began to meet church people. That’s when the confusion started. It seemed like they all called themselves something different. Some people were “Christians.” Some people were “believers.” Some people were “born again.” Some people were “saved.” I was baffl ed. What was I? What category did I fi t into? Did each of these names have a different method; did each one follow a different path? I didn’t know what category I fi t into and after a while I wasn’t sure if I fit into any category, because no one seemed to agree on what they all meant. I kept fi nding different interpretations of what I thought was the truth. I know that God is not the author of confusion. So I started to pray. I started asking God for the answer. I have learned one thing. Regardless of what we call ourselves or how we interpret it or apply it, there is only one Truth. Regardless of the route we think we have to take to reach Heaven, there is only one path for a Christian; that is the Path of Life. There is only one roadmap for a born again believer...that is the Word of God, the Bible."

After the resurrection of Jesus, the growth of the early Christian church exploded. In the face of tremendous obstacles and persecution, Christianity flourished and eventually converted its onetime greatest enemy, the Roman Empire, into followers of the teachings of Jesus. Fast-forward two thousand years, and the opposite is happening. People are leaving the Christian faith in record numbers. The question is, why? There are some notable bad actors behind this turning away from traditional Christianity, but the cause is more widespread. It's ourselves as Christians in today's world that--by our actions or inactions--have inadvertently contributed to the modern assumption that Christianity is no longer relevant and may be even the cause of many of today's problems. This book takes a unique approach by contrasting the interactions of Jesus and others in His world with how we modern-day Christians would interact in the same setting. Some of the differences are obvious, some are more subtle, but all these interactions will call attention to how we may be acting and reacting differently from Jesus to those around us. The world is watching us, and unlike the early church where cultures were in awe of what Christians were doing, many in our world today are dismayed. Each one of us calling ourselves Christians has a role to play in reversing this trend. Jesus said to follow Him, and that requires action on our part. The stories and examples in this book can help us engage with our communities more like Jesus would. Instead of pushing people away, we want to pull them in to follow Christ. At the same time, we need to demonstrate to the world the ongoing significance and relevance of the Christian faith.

The first major biblical commentary from the pen of N. T. Wright While full of theological import, Paul’s letter to the Galatians also captures and memorializes a significant moment in the early history of Christianity. This commentary from N. T. Wright—the inaugural volume of the CCF series—offers a theological interpretation of Galatians that never loses sight of the political concerns of its historical context. With these two elements of the letter in dialogue with each other, readers can understand both what Paul originally meant and how his writing might be faithfully used to respond to present questions. Each section of verse-by-verse commentary in this volume is followed by Wright’s reflections on what the text says about Christian formation today, making this an excellent resource for individual readers and those preparing to teach or preach on Galatians. The focus on formation is especially appropriate for this biblical letter, in which Paul wrote to his fellow early Christians, “My children—I seem to be in labor with you all over again, until the Messiah is fully formed in you!”
