Additional Info
We live in dark times. Christians wonder: Are the best days of the Christian faith behind us? Has modernity made Christianity irrelevant and impotent? Is society beyond all hope of redemption and renewal? Os Guinness declares no. Throughout history, the Christian faith has transformed entire cultures and civilizations, building cathedrals and universities, proclaiming God’s goodness, beauty and truth through art and literature, science and medicine. Christianity may similarly change the world again. The church can be revived to become a renewing power in our society–if we answer the call to a new Christian renaissance that challenges the darkness with the hope of Christian faith. In this manifesto for cultural change, Guinness sees opportunities for Christians on both local and global levels, to win back the West and to contribute constructively to the human future. When followers of Jesus live out the gospel in the world, Christianity becomes a decisive factor in the civilizing of society and the renewal of culture. Guinness declares, “We may be in the dark about our times, but we are not in the dark about God.” So let there be no fear, nor alarmism, nor despondency, nor nostalgia. Let us have the courage and the faith to work for a new renaissance in our time. Let a thousand flowers bloom!

Mere Christianity
