How Not to Change the World

I thought Evangel readers would appreciate knowing about my Christianity Today interview with James Davison Hunter, Professor of Religion, Culture, and Social Theory at the University of Virginia and author of To Change the World: The Irony, Tragedy and Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World (Oxford, 2010), which promises to be the most important book written on Christian cultural engagement in the last 50 years.

Faithful Presence | Christianity Today (May 2010)

Be sure to read the online critiques by Charles Colson and Andy Crouch and the response by Hunter.

More Than Faithful Presence | Charles Colson
