I recently received a copy of “Broken Words” (by Jonathan Dudley). I have learned a lot from reading this book. It is a book about the disputes that underlie the cultural wars that have been poisoning American political discourse over the last 30 years or so.
The main topics discussed are the disputes over abortion, over sexuality (particularly gay, lesbian and similar issues), the disputes over global warming and the disputes over biological evolution. However, this is not a book about political intrigue in Washington. It is more about the shifting sands of the theology of conservative evangelical Christianity. That theology could change so much is remarkable, given the claims of evangelical Christianity that their theology is derived from the timeless word of God.
