This isn't unique to secular culture. Many modern approaches to Christian hermeneutics, or biblical interpretation, have given credence to contemporary pluralism. What began as a refreshing restraint and humility in modern theology has fallen more and more into irresoluteness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's no secret that the contemporary challenges to Christianity are complex and serious. Yet, far from simple fear-mongering, or cultural warmongering, \u003cem\u003eThe Gagging of God\u003c\/em\u003e takes a hard look at the background and intricacy--of pluralism, postmodernity, and hermeneutics--and \u003cstrong\u003eequips thoughtful Christians to have intelligent, culturally sensitive, and passionate fidelity to the gospel of Jesus Christ.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his contemplative, even-handed approach, Carson provides a structure of Christian thought capable of facing the philosophies of today and piercing their surface.
