Death of Christian Culture

The Death of Christian CultureThe Death of Christian Culture by John Senior, 178 pages

According to John Senior, modernity's inward turn resulted in a solipsistic closed circle, and subsequent attempts to escape have only accelerated the death spiral into nihilistic madness.  Senior's argument is not that this is wicked, but that it is delusional, and it is destructive and wicked because it is delusional.  In this, the long demise of Christian Realism is both cause and effect, her resurrection a faint but not impossible hope.

Senior throws out ideas and references with machine gun rapidity.  For some readers this will be hopelessly confusing, while others will constantly find themselves asking him to expand upon an argument or observation.  Certainly he is never boring.
