America's Post-christian Apocalypse: How Secular Modernism Marginalized Christianity and the Peril of Leaving God Behind at the End of the Age Thomas R Goehle

Publisher Marketing: This Book Will Answer the Question: What Happened to Our Country? The short answer is simple. Christianity has lost its authority in our culture. Although most Americans say they believe in God, this claim is not reflected in our laws, morals, politically correct attitudes, universities, schools, or entertainment. All levels of society point to the fact that we are rapidly becoming a post-Christian nation. In this important work, Thomas R. Goehle examines contemporary culture while providing a comprehensive understanding of the historical precedents that led our country to this point. Not only secularists, but both committed and nominal Christians, are largely responsible for allowing Christianity to be marginalized because it was Christians themselves who accommodated and retreated from the advance of secularization over the past 150 years. The book reviews how Christianity was marginalized in higher education, the public school system, science, and culture, while secular modernism took its place. Today, Christianity continues to fall out of favor in our PC culture. This is due, in part, to the Christian worldview not being passed down to the generations behind us. Our culture is increasingly embracing PC tolerance, narcissism, hedonism, and moral relativism. Christianity no longer provides the cultural authority or moral underpinning for our nation. The result is that the foundation of our once great nation is crumbling. Rather than looking only to the past or present, however, the author looks to the future to see how our folly of leaving God behind places our country and its citizens in great peril. Lies and deception will be ubiquitous as we move closer to the end time apocalyptic events described in the book of Revelation. Economic collapse, martial law, war, and a move toward a totalitarian system of government are clear and present dangers. Unless Americans turn back to the God of the Bible, Goehle envisions a nation that is heading for disaster- a post-Christian apocalypse. Nearly twenty years in the making, "America's Post-Christian Apocalypse" is a must-read for those who want a genuine understanding of how our country lost its way, and how it can recover its foundations before it's too late.
