Rating: Summary: Right On Target! Review: This book describes very well the shift that has occurred in American society over the past twenty or so years. The authors correctly portray the new tolerance as a new state religion, a belief system that demands allegiance by everyone who desires to be seen as civilized and cultured. The result is that absolute, propositional truth becomes a relic of an unenlightened past.For Christians who are seeking to defend their biblical faith and values from the onslaught of relativism, this book is a must-read. It helps make sense of the mindset present in so much of American society today. Most importantly, it also offers solid, sensible ways to respond.
Rating: Summary: Excellent introduction to this topic Review: This book is an excellent (but not the most in-depth) book addressing the reasons behind much of the moral decay we see in society today. I would recommend it to anyone who has not read up on this topic previously. The subject matter is presented in a logical, easy to read manner. The only problem I saw with the book is that it did not go as deeply as it could have. (For example, it did not go into the roots and organization of Secular Humanism). As for some reviews saying this book promotes hate, this is simply not so. Christians are encourage to combat the new tolerance with something stronger: Christian love. A beautiful example used to illustrate this call to action was given in which a print shop was being depicted as bigots due to their refusal to print pro-homosexuality pamphlets. Did this Christian print shop respond with hate? No. The Christians met the protestors with love (and refreshments).
