The Eclipse of God

Crosstalk America

There is an active attempt being made by our culture to redefine God, who he is and what he's declared. For example, how many times have we heard from politicians that a person can be religious and still be pro-choice or that we can be pro-LGBTQ and still honor God. All of this points to the idea that rather than recognize that man is made in the image of God, we're trying to make God in our image and to follow our way of thinking. In response, there's a new book that's been released called, The Eclipse of God by Dr. Erwin Lutzer, subtitled, "Our nation's disastrous search for a more inclusive deity (and what we must do about it.)" Dr. Lutzer notes that just as the moon obscures the sun's light during an eclipse, today's radical secularism has obscured the light of God. The solution, as the book communicates, is to help readers see that first and foremost the church must return to God. We must renew our understanding of His sovereignty and holiness. Dr. Lutzer reminds us that the culture war has come to us; we didn't seek it, but win or lose, we must stand against it without losing our testimony for the gospel.Overall, here are the objectives of this book:1.--To better understand the intellectual roots of this present darkness.2.--To rejoice that God is sovereign and stands ready to give us the blessing of His presence, no matter our predicament.3.--To remind us that only a repentant and submissive church can shine the light of the gospel with confidence and strengthEach chapter concludes with "The Lessons for Us," "Our Declaration of Dependence" and "Action Steps."
