Biblical Christianity and ideological social justice are distinct and incompatible worldviews. They are opposed in their understanding of ultimate reality, power, authority, human nature, morality, epistemology, and much more. These differences matter. They will inevitably lead to vastly different kinds of societies. The culture that is emerging around us from the worldview of critical social theory is one marked by hostility, division, and a false sense of moral superiority. A culture where truth is replaced by power, and gratitude by grievance. A culture where your identity is defined by your tribe and your tribe is always in conflict with other tribes. The hour is late, but I believe there is still time. We, the Bible-believing church, must humble ourselves, cry out to God, and courageously defend the truth against the greatest worldview threat of our generation. - Back cover.

What I didn't find was a compelling argument that a majority of compassionate Christians attempting to address social issues are getting it wrong. I felt like the narrative glossed over the complex interactions of the Biblical worldview with a pluralistic society. People are people and they are messy and emotional and complex and refuse to fit into buckets like right or left or liberal or conservative.
The book also appears to focus on the issue from a purely American perspective. As much as the author, and others, want the United States of America to be a Christian nation, it isn't. And never was. The best we can do as Christians is live in it and share the gospel and leave judgements to God. We also have to accept that we live in an increasingly global world filled with multiple cultures and religion. Forcing a distinctly American Christian worldview on everyone is impractical, among other things. Having cultural myopia is not acceptable or exusable. ( )
