Building on the trenchant cultural and religious analyses of evangelical Protestantism set forth in his first volume, Wells argues in God in the Wasteland that the church is now enfeebled because it has lost its sense of God's sovereignty and holiness.

By looking afresh at the way God's transcendence and immanence have been taken...

Al pensar la democracia, la cultura occidental generó una ética y un conjunto de "reglas del tener razón": opinar, argumentar, disentir, apoyar, refutar, convencer, disuadir. Dicha cultura produjo también...

I'm continually astounded at the number of backslidden Christians I'm meeting...
