ABOUT: In Mere Christendom by Douglas Wilson, seasoned Christian author and pastor, we confront the prevailing secularism in modern culture and its impact on our Christian witness. While some evangelical elites warn against Christian Nationalism and theocracy, Wilson argues that secularism itself poses the greatest threat. He challenges the fundamental assumption of secularism, which promotes moral and religious neutrality within government, advocating for a righteous nation that rewards virtue and condemns wickedness. This thought-provoking book emphasizes the significance of bringing our private faith out into the public forum, offering a scriptural case for doing so. It delves into the role of Christianity in society, exploring how Jesus is the answer to societal issues such as taxes, civil resistance, and speech laws, and how He can lead the way. Rather than advocating for a new political platform, Wilson presents a comprehensive plan for Christians to engage within society and effect positive change. The ultimate goal is not the establishment of a theocratic America, but rather the transformation of American culture into a Christian nation akin to the Prodigal Son returning home to his Father; Christendom is a culture led by Faith. Mere Christendom is an enlightening read that encourages Christians to transcend their hesitation, integrate their faith into societal affairs, and embrace the opportunity to convert secularism through the power of the Bible, Christ-like behavior, and the way in which we pray. It explores apologetics and what we encounter in modern society to address the problem at the heart of secularism, surprising readers with a fresh perspective and compelling arguments that encourage reflection upon their role in modern culture.
