In <em>Renaissance, </em> Os Guinness declares that the church can once again change the world and become a renewing power in our society if we answer the call to a new Christian renaissance.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><ul> <li>Logos Bookstores' 2015 Best Book in Christianity and Culture</li> <li>Honorable Mention, 2014 Best Book of the Year from Byron Borger, Hearts and Minds Bookstore</li> </ul><p>We live in dark times. Christians wonder: Are the best days of the Christian faith behind us? Has modernity made Christian thought irrelevant and impotent? Is society beyond all hope of redemption and renewal? In <em>Renaissance, </em> Os Guinness declares <em>no.</em> Throughout history, the Christian faith has transformed entire cultures and civilizations, building cathedrals and universities, proclaiming God's goodness, beauty and truth through art and literature, science and medicine. The Christian faith may similarly change the world again today. The church can be revived to become a renewing power in our society--if we answer the call to a new Christian renaissance that challenges darkness with the hope of Christian faith. In this hopeful appeal for cultural transformation, Guinness shares opportunities for Christians, on both local and global levels, to win back the West and to contribute constructively to the human future. Hearkening back to similar pivotal points in history, Guinness encourages Christians in the quest for societal change. Each chapter closes with thought-provoking discussion questions and a brief, heart-felt prayer that challenges and motivates us to take action in our lives today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Renaissance</em> balances realism about our precarious cultural situation with a hope grounded in the continuing sovereignty of God and his promises.</p>--Christianity Today, October 2014<br><br><p>[A] well-constructed, fun to read, challenging, and hopeful book.
