1. To Change The World
The Irony, Tragedy, and Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World
This thought-provoking work delves into the complexities of cultural change, challenging the conventional wisdom that societal transformation is primarily driven by grassroots movements or individual efforts. Instead, it argues that true change is orchestrated by networks of elites who hold power within key institutions. Through a nuanced exploration of history, sociology, and theology, the book critiques the common strategies employed by various groups aiming to influence culture, suggesting that meaningful change requires a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics between power, culture, and faith.
