A good book to better understand the secular culture. Recommend for those attending coolege/university to better equip you.

Hunter Baker presents a solid case against the secularist domination of politics and public discourse. He ably debunks the idea that secularism in public affairs provides "a new way forward for humankind" by relegating religion to the private sphere. I found Baker's argument compelling, well written, and, at times fascinating. I learned much. ( )

Not a compelling read. I keep picking it up and then putting it back down... the subject just doesn't grip me. I think the author has done a fair job, but I like a book to change me. This book has not changed me. ( )

Very good book on engaging a secular culture. Provides thoughtful tools for forming a right view of this secular age. A trustworthy source. ( )

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
This is a very helpful book to understand the tension between secularism and religion in society. Mr. Baker proports that secularism is not truly an attempt at a peaceful resolution but rather an intentional idealogy to displace religion in the public square. He writes more intellectually than I could completely grasp but I also encountered several "aha" moments where I understood the issues most clearly. Highly recommend. ( )
