Far left activist site talk2action had an interesting post recently, entitled Knowledge is Power: Five Books About the Religious Right. The idea behind it was an interesting one – to pick five really foundational books with which to understand their cultural opponent, and to have those in common among themselves in order to have a common base of understanding by which to discuss and plan how to counter the right. So I thought, what five books would we recommend that all Christians who are interested in social and cultural reform share in common? Suggestions? Here are some possibilities:
- Total Truth (Pearcey) – essential
- For the Glory of God (Stark) – too much spin?
- Winning the Future (Gingrich) – essential
- Earthly Powers (Burleigh) – maybe
- The Myth of A Christian Nation (Boyd) – informative, but maybe not central?
