Book Review: CULTURE SHIFT by R. Albert Mohler Jr. (Multnomah 2008)
Albert Mohler has a radio program that says it is the place for "intelligent Christian Conversation". Mohler points out that all three words are important. This book carries on an intelligent Christian conversation about the culture in which we live. This is a great introduction for how to dialogue with the culture in which we are now living.
Mohler looks at topics such as: Secular arguments, secular myths, "the culture of offendedness", chapters on terror, torture, public education, abortion, science, honesty and tragedy (the Tsunami, New Orleans flooding and Hiroshima). The book is fast paced, readable yet intelligent, and is sure to make you think about issues of the day.
I sometimes find myself putting my head in the sand regarding current events. This is a mistake. Mohler's daily program is excellent and his books appear to be the same. Hopefully I'll review a second of his books on my shelf later this year.
