Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel
Book Description
In a rapidly shifting cultural landscape, many Christians find themselves grappling with how to maintain their faith while meaningfully engaging the world around them. Russell D. Moore offers a thoughtful roadmap for navigating this tension without compromising core beliefs or retreating into isolation.
Moore argues that the end of cultural Christianity in America presents an unexpected opportunity for authentic faith to flourish. Rather than mourning the loss of moral majority status, believers can rediscover the transformative power of the gospel message, which has always been countercultural at its heart. This perspective invites Christians to embrace their role as prophetic voices in society.
The book explores how faith communities can address pressing social and political issues while keeping the kingdom of God as their primary focus. Moore emphasizes the importance of advocating for human dignity, religious freedom, and family values through a lens that challenges conventional thinking rather than simply defending traditional positions.
Central to this approach is the distinction between opposing harmful ideologies and demonizing those who hold different views. Moore calls for a response rooted in hope rather than fear, panic, or outrage. He encourages believers to see current cultural challenges not as threats to overcome but as opportunities to demonstrate the radical nature of Christian love and truth.
This work speaks to anyone seeking to live faithfully in an increasingly complex world while maintaining both conviction and compassion.
