FIVE LIES OF OUR ANTI-CHRISTIAN AGE (Review)

This book is written by a Subject Matter Expert (SME). Rosaria Butterfield knows and explains her subject well. The subject is contemporary culture, and the matter is sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty and the lies being told about them. How does one discern between truth and lie? Butterfield’s “touchstone” for testing lies that are dressed up as truth is the Bible.

This is what impressed me most about her work. Not only is Butterfield Subject Matter Expert on the issues of our age previously listed, but she is also a SME on God’s Word and its Biblical application for today, which is very much lacking in today’s Christianity. Butterfield precisely and concisely explains what I mean by this lack, “When a Christian theology separates the gospel from the garden, it loses gospel power and integrity. All manner of heresy springs from denying that God’s gospel is found in the garden.” Wow! p. 306 (hard cover version). She also reveals her secret for Biblical application, “Systematic theology is invaluable in learning how to use Scripture in a fluent way. My favorite systematic theology id the Westminster Shorter Catechism.” p. 298. Double wow!
