This book describes several aspects of contemporary culture that
create both opportunities and threats to Christian mission. It
offers insights and practices that the church today must embrace in
order to live faithfully and witness effectively to the gospel.
Following a presentation of the church's history in relation to
Western culture, several chapters draw upon specific suggestions in
Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue--that we live in a fragmented
rather than a pluralistic world; how the church has compromised its
faithfulness by accommodating the mainstream of morality;
implications stemming from the collapse of the Enlightenment
project; and the need for a new monasticism together with forms the
life of the church must take to sustain a faithful witness in
contemporary culture. Jonathan R. Wilson is Associate Professor of
Systematic Theology and Chair of the Department of Religious
Studies, Westmont College, Santa Barbara, CA, and the author of
Theology as Cultural Critique.
