Does God belong in the public arena of politics; business; law; and education? Or is religion a private matter only-personally comforting but publicly irrelevant? In today's cultural etiquette; it is not considered polite to mix public and private; or sacred and secular. This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere-stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture. In Total Truth; Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split; explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal. Ultimately it reflects a division in the concept of truth itself; which functions as a gatekeeper; ruling Christian principles out of bounds in the public arena. How can we unify our fragmented lives and recover spiritual power? With examples from the lives of real people; past and present; Pearcey teaches readers how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks readers through practical; hands-on steps for crafting a full-orbed Christian worldview. Finally; she makes a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth but truth about total reality. It is total truth. This new study guide edition is filled with fresh stories; examples; and illustrations. Based on questions and comments raised by readers of the book; it is ideal for individual or group study.
