How does one authentically hear and live out the gospel in North
America? This new book attempts to answer this question in a way
that reveals much about the nature of Christian faith today and its
relation to contemporary culture. In keeping with the aims of the
acclaimed Gospel and Our Culture series, StormFront investigates
how the gospel intersects American culture and seeks to reorient
the church to its full and proper missional vocation. Four authors
noted for their understanding of modern church life offer a sober
yet hopeful critique of American culture that focuses on
consumerism and the privatization of religion, and they challenge
the Christian church to embrace its corporate task to be salt and
light to the world. Amid the many books on the subject, this one is
distinctive in its concern for application. By constrasting
contemporary life with a thoroughgoing reading of the biblical
narrative, the authors help American Christians discern how our
cultural location makes it difficult to live out the transformative
message of the gospel. Few readers will fail to be engaged by the
lessons offered here. Series: The Gospel and Our Culture Series
