Publisher's Synopsis
What is the nature of Christianity? Is it a religion or a
cult, i.e. a personal worship hobbie? This question goes
to the heart of the modern Church's failure to exercise a
world-transforming faith. The Church's abandonment of
Christianity as a religion, i.e. a world-view that
structures every sphere of human life and society, has
exposed the Western world to the religious influences of
secular humanism, New Age-ism, the Green and ecology
movements, which are all really modern variations of pagan
religion, and which have now begun to transform Western
society in a direction diametrically opposed to the
principles and practice of Christianity.
The antidote to this failure on the part of the Church to
affect the world, which is her mission field, and the
present condition of Western society to which this failure
has led ,is the rediscovery of Christianity as the true
religion, i.e. as an overarching structure to human life
that anchors both the individual and the society of which
he is a part in God's will for man in Christ. This
religious structure the Bible calls the covenant, and it
embraces the whole of human life including politics,
education, science, art, welfare, health care, marriage,
family life, Church, business, economy. Until the Church
rediscovers this religious structure for life the
Christian faith will continue to decline amidst the rise
of other faiths that do provide the individual and society
with religious structure for life, and Christians will
continue to have saved souls but live their daily lives as
secular humanists without answers for the desperate
problems that face the modern world. Our Comment
