In our postmodern world, every view has a place at the table but
none has the final say. How should the church confess Christ in
today's cultural context?
"Above All Earthly Pow'rs," the fourth and final volume of the
series that began in 1993 with "No Place for Truth," portrays the
West in all its complexity, brilliance, and emptiness. As David F.
Wells masterfully depicts it, the postmodern ethos of the West is
relativistic, individualistic, therapeutic, and yet remarkably
spiritual. Wells shows how this postmodern ethos has incorporated
into itself the new religious and cultural relativism, the fear and
confusion, that began with the last century's waves of immigration
and have continued apace in recent decades.
Wells's book culminates in a critique of contemporary
evangelicalism aimed at both unsettling and reinvigorating readers.
Churches that market themselves as relevant and palatable to
consumption-oriented postmoderns are indeed swelling in size. But
they are doing so, Wells contends, at the expense of the truth of
the gospel. By placing a premium on marketing rather than truth,
the evangelical church is in danger of trading authentic engagement
with culture for worldly success.
Welding extensive cultural analysis with serious theology,
"Above All Earthly Pow'rs" issues a prophetic call that the
evangelical church cannot afford to ignore.
