Who Gets to Narrate the World? Contending for the Christian Story in an Age of Rivals
The late Robert Webber provided us with many books that have influenced ministry in our own age. In his final volume, Who Gets to Narrate the World? Contending for the Christian Story in an Age of Rivals (IVP), Webber argues that the Christian faith in our day "has been weakened by its accommodation to culture" and explains that, "One of the reasons why the church has fallen prey to a cultural accommodation is that it has become disconnected from its roots in Scripture, in the ancient church and in its heritage through the centuries." He challenges us to reclaim our own story as we confront the "twin threats of Radical Islam and Western narcissism."
