- 해제"Wells has made his mark with such books as NO PLACE FOR TRUTH, which lovingly but unsparingly analyze the state of the 20th-century evangelical church. Here, he expands his analysis and looks at the American church and the culture it seeks to reach. His analysis is disturbing, for it shows the church conforming to the culture it should meet head-on with God's Word. "Wells shows how our culture has lost its moral core. Personality has replaced character, therapy has replaced Gospel preaching, shame is experienced without a sense of sin, and happiness has become an entitlement instead of the result of a fruitful Christian life. "Wells sees our postmodern predicament as rife with opportunity, should the church slough off its desire to accommodate the culture and instead seek to address it unflinchingly on God's terms. For its sweep, content, and thorough analysis, Wells' book may be among the most important published this year"
