Book Review: Pragmatic advice for a troubled world
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a practicing Christian and I was introduced to this book as part of a Sunday School class a few years ago, and it is the ONLY Sunday School reference that I have ever gone back to consistently. Having said that, I primarily refer to the sections addressing contemporary issues (there is a chapter on abortion, just war theory, euthanasia, environmentalism, etc. -- it runs the gamut of important, politically charged topics). While I don't agree with their conclusions in every case, I believe the authors have done an OUTSTANDING job of aproaching each of the topics from multiple perspectives, complete with both Biblical and secular evidence supporting their case. As an example, I would offer up their point on abortion. The bottom line is that the authors feel that FAR MORE emphasis should be placed on preventing the causes of unwanted pregnancies (WWJD), as opposed to investing so much (wasted) energy participating in (what I believe to be) very un-Christianlike and counter-productive attacks against the pro-abortion crowd. I wish every policy-maker read, and seriously contemplated the points that these authors have attempted to make in this book. The only warning I would make is that this is really a scholarly (i.e. seminary) text. That is why the first 1/3 of it is a little tough to get through at times. But even if you bought it for the policy-related issues, it is money very well spent.
