Os Guinness - Challenging the Darkness: Towards a New Christian Renaissance

www.faithandwor...
As we discuss how the church can engage an increasingly post-Christian culture in the west, it is helpful to take a step back from our own times and historically examine how Christianity has dealt with cultures that seemed implacably opposed to it. Christianity was never expected to convert the Roman empire; nor was it expected to convert the barbarian tribes after Rome fell. Yet, it both cases it succeeded despite the odds. Similarly today, Christians must hold onto hope for a revival in the modern west.
This lecture was given as part of the Gospel & Culture Lecture series featuring Os Guinness. Os Guinness is an author and social critic. Great-great grandson of Arthur Guinness, the Dublin brewer, he was born in China in World War Two where his parents were medical missionaries. A witness to the climax of the Chinese revolution in 1949, he was expelled with many other foreigners in 1951 and returned to Europe where he was educated in England.

First time listening to Dr Os Guinness. A very brilliant thinker. Glad to be adding him to my list of influencial teachers.

What is the most dominant in some of the churches today? "Is it the world, or is it God?" And, it's apparent through our media " the social tensions of being in the world but not of", are real challenges for Christians nationally and globally. Thank you, inspired once again by your words.
