"One high price of evangelical isolation is that the high claim of God is insulated from the social structures of our day. No longer does the revelation of God challenge these social structures, and they do not dispute and contradict it, because they exist indifferently to it and can even ignore it."With this challenge to the uneasy conscience of the conservative, Dr. Henry dissects both the hard-nosed separatist fundamentalist and the fuzzy-thinking modernist.Working from the platform of a sound Biblical theology, this foremost evangelical theologian moves his reader from an understanding of the work of God - who, contrary to "being dead" is constantly at work, both through the believer and the nonbeliever - to the place where the committed Christian must be if he is to mature to his fullest and continue in his place in God's will.
