A big question presently on the floor is how Christians should or could engage the modern culture which has become wrong headed, vulgar and virulently if subtly anti Christian. The Christian roots of western civilization have pretty much rotted away. An Evangelical friend , upon returning from Sweden once said to me that over there …..should you mention Moses …..there is more chance that minds would direct to Moses Malone , the professional basketball player , than to the Moses of the bible. And post Christian Europe is slouching toward us.
In ” Four Ways G K Chesterton Engaged His Culture And Why He Still Matters Today,” Chesterton is shown to be a force of nature taking on the question of how to respond to the stuff that comes at us every day in the most weird ways. Economics, Art, Family, Politics , Human Nature …..and so on . We can not help but think …..where is today’s Chesterton?
