Either/or

Many mainline church members no longer understand what Christianity really is and why they themselves are Christians. Bible-centered doctrine is being adulterated, and the meaning of Christian living is being compromised by the pagan elements of modern culture. America is a new mission field where the gospel is in a life-and-death struggle with the "spirits of the age." Seeking a return from pagan tendencies to biblical orthodoxy, the contributors to Either/Or argue that neopaganism in not merely an objective threat from outside the walls of the church, but has permeated the church's inner life under such guises as "pluralism," "multiculturalism," " feminism," and "hospitality." They address the crucial issues facing the church and explore the implications of these issues for preaching, worship, pastoral care, and evangelism. Contributors: Carl E. Braaten Robert Jenson
