More Description Who decides what s right or wrong? Imagine a world where right and wrong, good and evil are determined by society the majority dictates what is acceptable or unacceptable, without regard to morality as spelled out in the Bible or any other religious text. Such a world could be closer than you think because, whether or not we understand postmodernism, it is upon us in this country and in the church, and it brings both opportunities and dangers. If you are concerned about the direction of contemporary western society and the current state of the church, this book is for you. In it, author Michael Ferber provides a thoughtful approach to evaluating our worldview and how it is impacted by our culture. In a compelling comparison with the first century church at Ephesus, he uses the book of 1st Timothy to offer insights into our current situation and provide hope to those willing to engage in an honest evaluation of themselves and their faith. He says that in light of the shifts in thinking taking place today, A sure foundation must be laid in the church in order for the faith to continue. Such was Timothy s task, and such is our own. Join him on a fascinating journey that looks backward and, with the value of hindsight, beckons us to engage our minds and our culture in the all-important struggle between biblical and other worldviews.
