Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity

"This book continues the Schaeffer-inspired project that Nancy Pearcey and Chuck Colson began in How Now Shall We Live?-awakening evangelical Christians to the need for a Christian ls"worldview,rs" which Pearcey defines as ls"a biblically informed perspective on all reality.rs" This is the rare long book that leaves one wanting to read more." -Publishers Weekly"On one level, this book is a lucid, easy-to-understand manual for worldview thinking. But it also breaks new ground in worldview analysis." -World Magazine"Pearcey is an outstanding writer with the ability not only to express deep thoughts in a very readable way, but one who also understands a biblically reformed world and life view. If you buy only one book this year, this would be at the top of the list." -Equip for Ministry"Pearcey helps readers see how many modern Christians unwittingly accept a sacred/secular split, which allows them to relegate faith to the private sphere of life. She then clearly puts forth a Scriptural picture of integrating all of life under the liberating Lordship of Christ and shows what that truth means for the areas of public policy, family life, science, business, law, education, and more." -Covenant Magazine"Total Truth questions the modern American cultural attitude of keeping religion a private matter, claiming that Christianityrs"s truth is best served by being brought into the public sphere to maximize its influence." -Midwest Book Review"Thoroughly researched, well-written and well-argued, Total Truth will prove to be a useful and easily accessible guidebook for many who seek to develop a comprehensive biblical worldview that affects not only beliefs but actions." -CaliforniaRepublic.orgHow can you liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity? In this superbly crafted cultural analysis, a noted author passionately argues that Christianity is truth about all reality, not just religious truth, and that to keep it privatized is stripping it of the power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture.
