“The most accessible work of profound cultural criticism from a Christian standpoint that I have read in many years.”
“Gil Bailie’s theories on violence are based on the kind of sound analysis of current conflicts that easily matches, or betters, today’s other intellectual offerings. A rewarding and quietly inspiring work.”
“Anyone concerned about the rise of violence and social disintegration in our culture, and who wants to understand what is really happening, must read this book. It’s that important.”
“An outstanding, wonderfully written synthesis of cultural history, Scripture, current events, literature and cultural theory . . . The book’s scope, insight into the roots of violence, and final message of redemption and hope reflect a truly innovative Christian cultural critique.”
