This is no less true for the tangled web that is 21st century America. Edited by global scholar Robert Kolb, these ten essays engage numerous facets of American culture from politics to science, the movies to new media to find the interconnections between the American mind and the mind of Christ.

Review:
A thoughtful, sophisticated, biblically-based, theologically-astute exploration of the authentic Christian life in the midst of the temptations of abundance. --Robert Benne, Director, Roanoke College Center for Religion and Society
An important and valuable mission text for our time...a serious attempt to bridge the gap between the church and the postmodern age. I did not agree with everything, but I did pay attention to everything and the essays made me think. --Robert Scudieri, Retired Director of North American Missions, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod
