American Crisis: Cultural Marxism and The Culture War: A Christian Response

This book is an analysis of the origins, the manifestations and the consequences of America's current culture war - and what Christians can and should do in response. Although the culture war is often presented in social and political terms, these are in fact only the surface-level expressions of much deeper forces at work in the spiritual realm. This book is written primarily, but not exclusively, for Christians who take their faith seriously and are properly concerned about the spiritual, social, cultural and political condition of America. This is a critical time in our nation's history. The moral and spiritual influences of the past are disintegrating, and there are insidious forces at work that are literally hell-bent on destroying anything good and decent that remains in our society and culture. As a result, America has become increasingly Godless, immoral and dysfunctional to an extent unimaginable just a few decades ago.As the theologian R. C. Sproul observed, "I doubt if there has been a period in all of Christian history when so many Christians are so ineffectual in shaping the culture in which they live as is true right now in the United States." What is desperately needed today is a new Christian consciousness and a wholistic understanding of discipleship. The question is: Will Christians rise up and meet the challenges of our day, or will we meekly submit and go with the flow? Will we exhibit the faith and courage necessary to confront the insidious forces corrupting every aspect of our society and culture, or are we so acculturated, so compromised and so caught up in the values, the priorities and the agenda of this world as to have little time, energy and resources left for the things that truly matter? That, stated succinctly, is the essential message of this book.
