Can Saul Alinsky Be Saved?: Jesus Christ in the Obama and Post-Obama Era

Revolutionary France of 1789 was the worlds first post-Christian society. Leftism is an ersatz religion and France became the worlds first Leftist nation. Leftism is faux Christianity. America is today becoming a post-Christian society under a similar imitation of Christianity. One of the truisms of such a society is that one can now hide behind the pretense of openness. Shame which would have previously kept certain things hidden is now the only thing of which we are ashamed. One can be completely open about all matters sexual for frankness about everything is now valued. Yet such cultures only develop new ways of being hidden. One hides in plain sight in modern America. One goes on television the Internet and to publishing houses to tell all using the facade of boldness and frankness to remain hidden. Openness is a cover and it is a cover for emptiness. We no longer know who where or what we are. We have lost ourselves. Bledsoe understands where modern people are and he begins right there with them drawing them gently along to the point where they must recognize that their modern assumptions lead to chaos. His writing is always interesting stimulating allusive. His illustrations and analogies are strikingly accurate. The book would be a great one to share with sophisticated friends who have no respect for Christ and the gospel. And it is a reassurance to us believers who need to confront regularly the unbelief within our belief. --John Frame Professor of Theology Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando FL In this remarkable book Rich Bledsoe brings together profound insights developed from his years as a pastor counselor hospital chaplain metropolitan missionary and seminary professor. Bledsoes remarkable awareness of the death-depths of modern society have benefited my life and thinking for over thirty years. I cannot recommend exposure to this book too highly. --James B. Jordan Director Biblical Horizons Ministries Birmingham AL Richard Bledsoe served as a hospital chaplain and pastored Tree of Life Presbyterian Church in Boulder CO for twenty years. He currently works as a metropolitan missionary inside of Boulder and other cities.
