Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity (Study Guide Edition)

Does God belong in the public arena of politics business law and education? Or is religion a private matter only-personally comforting but publicly irrelevant? In todays cultural etiquette it is not considered polite to mix public and private or sacred and secular. This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere-stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture. In Total Truth Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal. Ultimately it reflects a division in the concept of truth itself which functions as a gatekeeper ruling Christian principles out of bounds in the public arena. How can we unify our fragmented lives and recover spiritual power? With examples from the lives of real people past and present Pearcey teaches readers how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks readers through practical hands-on steps for crafting a full-orbed Christian worldview. Finally she makes a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth but truth about total reality. It is total truth. This new study guide edition is filled with fresh stories examples and illustrations. Based on questions and comments raised by readers of the book it is ideal for individual or group study.
