Synopsis

This book critically examines the perceived conflict between Christian faith and contemporary American culture. It argues that modern society has abandoned its foundational religious principles, replacing them with secular 'idols' that threaten its moral and spiritual fabric. The authors challenge readers to consider the implications of this cultural shift and its impact on the future of the nation.
