Culture/Institutions

Resource: Klinghoffer, David. “Waking a Spiritually Slumbering Generation.” The Discovery Institute

Summary: Reaching our “spiritually slumbering generation” will take careful reading and interpreting of our culture.

Report: Why are believers in America not reaching those who are more commonly being called the “nones”? These “nones” are those who have found no institutional religious choice appealing.

Filling in the gaps about Abraham’s life from the Bible with resources from Jewish oral tradition, he has determined that Abraham had shared the “lost knowledge of the One God with ‘thousands and myriads’ of other people.” What made Abraham such a great evangelist? Klinghoffer believes while he “aggressively argued for the truth” it was “his flexible approach” which reached out to an unbelieving world.
