About the Title: There is a person holding a sign that says: "The End Is Near"; A man in business suit says: "Have I got time for a cup of coffee?"
This is one of those pictures that really is worth ten thousand
words. It summarized this book's thesis: the cultural bankruptcy of
modern evangelicalism and its chief cause, the doctrine of Christ's
momentary return.
Modern evangelicalism is like that fellow with the sign, and
modern humanistic society takes its message just about as seriously as
Herman does. A movement that believes the message of that sign is not
going to produce a comprehensive challenge that is meaningful or even
plausible to the Hermans of this world. Christianity cannot beat
something with nothing. People who think they have time only for a cup
of coffee and reading a gospel tract have nothing much to offer a
civilization in crisis.
This does not mean that those holding the sign have no social
theory. They do: a theory that they have not developed. They believe in
a view of the world that has been developed in terms of philosophies
other than the Bible's. They have imported alien philosophies into
Christianity. To the extent that they attempt to challenge modern man
intellectually, they are using defective tools.
This book presents the case for the Bible as the sole foundation of
valid social theory. Every social theory has a theory of sovereignty,
authority, law, rewards and punishments, and cultural progress over
time. The Bible offers a unique version of such a theory. But modern
Christians have rejected the idea of cultural progress. They also
reject the idea of God's sanctions in history. Finally, they reject
biblical law. They have therefore been forced to import humanistic
substitutes for these three crucial concepts. Very few of them have
recognized what they have done, or have had done to them, in the name
of Christianity. This book shows exactly what has been done, and why it
has distorted the Church's efforts of evangelism.
