The Spiritual Society: What Lurks Beyond Postmodernism?

Information on The Spiritual Society from the publisher:

In recent decades, Christians in Western society have been subjected to a series of different worldviews, all of them hostile to biblical faith. Today it is postmodernism, but there are clear signs that a cultural shift is again taking place. What may follow is a system that is spiritual in outlook, though by no means Christian. Frederic Baue describes this newly emerging worldview and recommends an appropriate response for the church. Observing cultural indicators and applying insights from great thinkers who have proven prophetic regarding intellectual and cultural change -- men like P. A. Sorokin, Francis Schaeffer, and Os Guinness -- Baue presents a glimpse of the future that can help prepare God's people for the challenges that are likely to come.

Description of Frederic W. Baue, author of The Spiritual Society:

Over the past few decades, Christians in Western society have encountered a series of different worldviews, one following quickly after another, and all of them hostile to biblical faith. Today it is postmodernism, but there are clear signs that a cultural shift is again taking place. What many follow is a system that is religious in outlook, though by no means Christian, or even receptive to Christianity. Frederic Baue describes this newly emerging worldview in American culture and recommends an appropriate response for the church. He has studied some of the leading cultural indicators, such as contemporary works in the high arts, as well as evidence from popular culture, and then applied insights from thinkers who have proven themselves prophetic in predicting intellectual and cultural change. Thinkers like Sorokin, Francis Schaeffer and Os Guinness. The result is a glimpse of the future that can prepare God's people for the challenges they are likely to face in the days to come.
