Christians wonder: Are the best days of the Christian faith behind us? Has modernity made Christian thought irrelevant and impotent? Is society beyond all hope of redemption and renewal? In\u003cem\u003eRenaissance, \u003c\/em\u003e Os Guinness declares \u003cem\u003eno.\u003c\/em\u003e Throughout history, the Christian faith has transformed entire cultures and civilizations, building cathedrals and universities, proclaiming God's goodness, beauty and truth through art and literature, science and medicine. The Christian faith may similarly change the world again today. The church can be revived to become a renewing power in our society--if we answer the call to a new Christian renaissance that challenges darkness with the hope of Christian faith. In this hopeful appeal for cultural transformation, Guinness shares opportunities for Christians, on both local and global levels, to win back the West and to contribute constructively to the human future. Hearkening back to similar pivotal points in history, Guinness encourages Christians in the quest for societal change. Each chapter closes with thought-provoking discussion questions and a brief, heart-felt prayer that challenges and motivates us to take action in our lives today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830836710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.34h x 5.48w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2014 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Os Guinness","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645154422940,"sku":"9780830836710","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4e1b8bf3-d6c4-4ed5-ae3f-f9fddb9b4da2.jpg?v=1603860288","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/renaissance-the-power-of-the-gospel-however-dark-the-times-9780830836710","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
