Christians in the Age of Outrage

Description

Are you tired of reading another news story about Christians acting their worst? Today there are too many examples of those claiming to follow Christ being caustic, divisive, and irrational, contributing to dismissals of the Christian faith as hypocritical, self-interested, and politically co-opted. What has happened in our society? It seems one short outrageous video or pithy post can trigger an avalanche of comments on social media. Welcome to the new age of outrage. In this groundbreaking look at our current cultural moment, social commentator and popular speaker Ed Stetzer describes the contours of the new age of outrage—and a new way forward for Christians. It is clear that our knee-jerk reactions—withdrawing, becoming defensive, or going on the offensive—are feeding the headlines and not serving the cause of Christ well. In Christians in the Age of Outrage, you will discover a comprehensive road map to avoid the attractive dead ends our society presents to Christians. You won’t want to miss Ed’s insightful analysis of our chaotic age, his commonsensical understanding of the cultural currents, and his compelling challenge to Christians to live in a refreshingly different way.
