Christians wonder: Are the best days of the Christian faith behind us? Has modernity made Christian thought irrelevant and impotent? Is society beyond all hope of redemption and renewal? In Renaissance Os Guinness declares no. Throughout history the Christian faith has transformed entire cultures and civilizations building cathedrals and universities proclaiming God's goodness beauty and truth through art and literature science and medicine. The Christian faith may similarly change the world again today. The church can be revived to become a renewing power in our societyif we answer the call to a new Christian renaissance that challenges darkness with the hope of Christian faith. In this hopeful appeal for cultural transformation Guinness shares opportunities for Christians on both local and global levels to win back the West and to contribute constructively to the human future. Hearkening back to similar pivotal points in history Guinness encourages Christians in the quest for societal change. Each chapter closes with thought-provoking discussion questions and a brief heart-felt prayer that challenges and motivates us to take action in our lives today.
