Product Description

Andrew T. Walker's Thought-Provoking Look at Modern Culture Affirms Why Biblical Morality Is Urgent and Irreplaceable

We have forgotten what it means to be human. American men and women are feeling the despair of a counterfeit culture, one where polarization has replaced conversation, pornography is chosen over true intimacy, and marriage and family are postponed indefinitely. The resulting isolation has forced us to confront the truth: individualism and worldly systems cannot take the place of God's design for humanity.

This scholarly yet accessible study examines the effects of secularism, nihilism, and barbarism on culture today, and explains why a biblical worldview is essential for human flourishing. Andrew T. Walker skillfully confronts 10 pressing issues--including loneliness, sexual confusion, anti-institutionalism, and identity. Affirming that shared norms grounded in creation order are the solution to social decline, he champions a return to biblical standards of freedom, human nature, and purpose. Walker compares Western culture to the prodigal son in Scripture--a culture that has squandered its inheritance and must now decide whether it will return to the Father or continue living in squalor.
