About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
As a religiously adrift young adult in the 1960s, Pearcey found her
way to the Swiss retreat, and the intellectually rigorous faith, of the
Calvinist maverick Francis Schaeffer. This book continues the
Schaeffer-inspired project that Pearcey and Chuck Colson began in How
Now Shall We Live??awakening evangelical Christians to the need for a
Christian "worldview," which Pearcey defines as "a biblically informed
perspective on all reality." Pearcey gives credibly argued perspectives
on everything from Rousseau's rebellion against the Enlightenment, to
the roots of feminism, to the spiritual poverty of celebrity-driven
Christianity. She also provides a layperson's guide to the history of
America's anti-intellectual strain of evangelicalism. Unfortunately for
the book's chance at a wide audience, several chapters are devoted to a
critique of Darwinism and defense of Intelligent Design?with no
substantive engagement with the many thoughtful Christians (John
Polkinghorne, Ken Miller, Nancey Murphy, etc.) who dissent from
Intelligent Design's scientific and philosophical program. Still,
Pearcey deftly applies Schaeffer's core insight that modernity has been
built on a "two-story" view of reality?with "facts" on the ground floor
and "values" up in the air. Her critique of this view is compelling, and
her final chapters, which begin to sketch an integrated Christian way of
living and thinking, are exceptional. This is the rare long book that
leaves one wanting to read more.
