Product DescriptionThe "gravedigger thesis" can be put simply: The Christian faith contributed decisively to the rise of the modern world, but has been undermined decisively by the modern world it helped to create. The Christian faith has become its own gravedigger. In the 25 years since philosopher and social critic Os Guinness first published The Gravedigger Files, much has happened: the fall of the Soviet Union, the rise of the computer age, the re emergence of China and India, the rise of Islamic terrorism, and the worldwide revitalization and politicization of religion. But the central mystery of Dr. Guinness's "spy novel", inspired by his affection for John le Carre thrillers, remains unsolved: Can Christians regain the full integrity of faith in Christ while fully and properly engaged in the advanced modern world? This new edition of The Last Christian on Earth, which includes previously unpublished "top secret memos," is Dr. Guinness's parable about the future of the Christian church in the West. Written in the grand tradition of le Carri, Fleming and Clancy, this thriller pays homage to the genre while transcending it, because the real life ending has yet to be written!
