Voted one of Christianity Today's 1997 Books of the Year Christians
feel increasingly useless, argues Rodney Clapp, not because we have
nothing to offer a post-Christian society, but because we are
trying to serve as "sponsoring chaplains" to a civilization that no
longer sees Christianity as necessary to its existence. In our
individualistic, technologically oriented, consumer-based culture,
Christianity has become largely irrelevant. The solution is not to
sentimentally capitulate to the way things are. Nor is it to
retrench in an effort to regain power and influence as the sponsor
of Western civilization. What is needed is for Christians to
reclaim our heritage as a peculiar people, as unapologetic
followers of the Way. Within the larger pluralistic world, we need
to become a sanctified, subversive culture that develops Christian
community as a truly alternative way of life. Christians must learn
to live the story and not just to restate it. Writing inclusively
with considerable verve, Clapp offers a keen analysis of the church
and its ministry as we face a new millennium.
