I get a newsletter from Discovery Institute. We actually donate to their cause, which is to promote Intelligent Design. It’s fantastic stuff if you haven’t learned about it.
Anywho, the latest newsletter was a promotion for a new book they have. I normally wouldn’t share this, but I thought some of you may appreciate the description. It’s something I’ve talked about many times on this site. I’m glad to see other Christian’s are seeing what I see, like this author.
Stockholm Syndrome Christianity by John G. West makes a provocative argument: Our society isn’t collapsing primarily because of crusading secularists. It’s falling apart because too many faith leaders identify more with secular elites than with their fellow believers.
To make his case, West investigates how key Christian leaders, churches, and faith-based institutions have abandoned their historic beliefs to embrace a secularist progressive agenda, one largely shaped by Darwinism and other forms of scientific materialism. Chapters in Stockholm Syndrome Christianityexamine how materialist science has reshaped views about the Bible, sex, race, poverty, religious liberty, and science itself.
More than a critique, West’s book offers practical advice people of faith can use to reclaim their institutions and families. “I want to provide a guidebook for pastors, teachers, parents, board members, and ordinary people so they can become agents of change,” says West, Vice President of Discovery Institute.
