Summary: Faith, Culture and Intentionality.
Comment: Craig Gay has penned one of the most penetrating analyses of the mutual reciprocity involved in the interplay between faith and culture. He is especially astute in delineating the subtle effects popular culture has on faith and practice. Even though he analyzes the faith-culture milieu through the lens of Christianity, many of the conclusions he makes are valid whenever faith clashes with the tidal wave of culture, such as we have in the West. This book is the total package, as the author makes suggestions concerning what correctives are needed in order to draw people of faith back from the shores of practical atheism. Of course, these suggestions are consistent with the Christian suppositions he employs throughout. Gay is very thorough in his examination of the instruments-sociology, psychology, theology, anthropology, epistemology, and others- which pop culture has co-opted so deftly in the process of trivializing faith's role in our lives. If you liked Richard Weaver's "Ideas Have Consequences" or Kenneth Myers' "All God's Children and Blue Suede Shoes", you will like this book. Tolle Lege.

Summary: Brilliant and incisive critique of post modern world
Comment: Wide ranging and delightfully erudite but enlivened with a deft and engaging style, Gay gives fresh insight and thoughtful nuggets on every page as to "why it's tempting to live as if God doesn't matter" For so very long after C. S. Lewis, Christian scholars couldn't seem to put pen to paper without sounding like Jeremiah. Gay--and a few others in recent years--show that there need not be anything scandalous about the "evangelical mind."
