Building on the trenchant cultural and religious analyses of evangelical Protestantism set forth in his first volume, Wells argues in God in the Wasteland that the church is now enfeebled because it has lost its sense of God's sovereignty and holiness. God, says Wells, has become weightless. He has lost the power to shape the church's character, outlook, and practice.
By looking afresh at the way God's transcendence and immanence have been taken...

La intolerancia, asiento de fundamentalismos, recorre nuestro mundo, donde la marginación y el racismo potencian una cultura del miedo a la diferencia, de pavor por aquello que se percibe como distinto.

Dicha cultura produjo también...

When we fall into such patterns, according to author and psychotherapist Stephen Larsen, we lose all flexibility and freedom of thought. We become split by dualistic thinking-bad versus good; black versus...
