This telling critique of the modern world not only exposes the foundational worldview of contemporary secular society and the ideas that undergird modern culture; it also shows how, for Christians, one of the most insidious temptations fostered by these ideas is the enticement toward
practical atheism. Craig Gay describes the powerful ideas that have built today's modern complex, exposes the deeper assumptions that lie beneath modern values like "freedom" and "progress," and shows how these ideas can easily lead us to live as though God does not matter. He also points out the link between modern secularity and the impersonal quality of contemporary social life, suggesting that the classical trinitarian defense of personhood can best resolve the stubborn problems of life today. Arguing for the eviction of certain destructive modern ideas from our churches, Gay's work demonstrates a biblically sound way to live
in but not
of the world.
