B01840 - Standing for Christ in a Moder

At the core of a modern battle in a modern world is the struggle to preserve civilization. As conservative Christians we recognize the biblical implications of this struggle. Since September 11, 2001, we have been under attack from liberal journalism that seeks to equate biblical Christians with Islamic terrorists. Many claim that evangelicals are the Christian Taliban. How should we respond? Mr. Olasky is editor-in-chief of World, a national weekly news magazine, whose answer to this question is straightforward: we should stand for Christ. Beginning with the supposition that journalists are ignorant of the realities of Christianity, he shows how to use these attacks as opportunities to make the truth known. From the back cover: Ever since terrorists shocked the world on September 11, 2001, the mainstream media has portrayed conservative Christians in frightening terms. Instead of distinguishing biblical Christians for Islamic extremists, liberal journalists lump them together. Having taken the same path as many liberal journalists in his years before becoming a Christian, Marvin Olasky understands this journalistic antipathy toward evangelicals. Yet he urges conservative Christians to stand their ground in the public square, and to do so in a way that points journalists to Christ. In this book Olasky examines the phenomenon of "Christophobia" in the mainstream media. He critiques the absurd equation of groups like the Taliban with conservative Christians. And he dispels illusions about Islam and its history that drive the current media coverage, showing how different Christian and Islamic conservatives really are. This book is for Christians who want to stand tall in the public square in spite of press attacks and for those who want to use those attacks as opportunities to communicate the truth.
