Culture Shock
A Biblical Response to Today's Most Divisive Issues
Ratings1
Average rating1
We live in a reactionary culture where divisive issues arise, people on either side throw stones, and everyone ends up more entrenched in their opinions than in reaching common ground--or even exhibiting common courtesy! If there ever was a time for Christians to understand and communicate God's truth about controversial and polarizing issues, it is now. Believers must develop convictions based on research, reason, and biblical truth--and be able (and willing) to communicate these convictions with a love and respect that reflects God's own heart. In Culture Shock, bestselling author, pastor, and radio personality Chip Ingram shows readers how they can bring light rather than heat to the most controversial and divisive issues of our day. Covering topics such as right and wrong, sex, homosexuality, abortion, politics, and the environment, Culture Shock is every engaged believer's must-have guidebook to replacing reactionary hate with revolutionary love.

I found this horribly biased and hiding behind the guise of being unbiased. Chip begins topics by presenting a dichotomy of both sides, sometimes falsely, and explaining that both need to be more understanding of each other. He then presents (often emotionally charged) anecdotes that nudge the reader towards his personal opinion before presenting any biblical based evidence, which I often found unsubstantial. He selectively chooses what evidence get supported by sources (sometimes outdated) and which we have to take his word for. I found this to be incredibly judgmental in its language and full of correlation but not causation assumptions.
