There are two problems with Christianity today.
Problem one: Many churchgoers don’t understand the big picture of Christianity. They learn a few individual puzzle pieces here and there, but they don’t know what the big put-together picture looks like.
Problem two: Most Christian resources were written in the Modernist framework. They do a good job of organizing and explaining the content but do a poor job connecting what Christianity means to today’s Postmodern generation. As a result, today’s audience has a hard time connecting the dots on how Christianity provides meaning to their lives. Why am I here on earth? What is the meaning of life? Do I matter? What is the purpose of my life?
By dividing Christianity into five parts – Sabbath, Sin, Justice, Jesus, and Ambassadorship – the author explains the big picture of Christianity and connects it to today’s value system in an easy-to-understand way.
