The reading list makes a brief comeback with a few observations about the Christian church and how it is understood and portrayed by the world in general.
Take this example, from the London Times in the “Entertainment & Culture” section. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/book_extracts/article6288403.ece It is a good read if only to try to glean the facts that Christianity is moving forward in many parts of the world. You will not enjoy the article’s relentless condescension. And it is comical to see the confusion of evangelical strategy derived from Saint Paul or a the reformation commitment to communicating in everyday language with “Americanism”. Perhaps American Christians should be proud that they are seen to be practicing the faith of St. Paul and communicating it using the tools of Martin Luther.
Maybe we are in better shape than we think we are …….
