Butterfield contends, with help from Peter Jones, that the shift we are experiencing in our culture is not a shift from Christianity to secularism, but rather we are dealing with competing religions (123). In other words, our culture is not anti-religious, it’s religious in all the wrong ways. A feminist worldview, a homosexual lifestyle, Eastern spirituality paired with Christianity, abortion on demand, these are more than a set of ideas. Butterfield argues, they are a religion (145). Which is why the church needs to be nothing more and nothing less, than the church. Proclaiming the gospel and administering the sacraments may not save America, but it will save souls (Rom. 1:16). “The power of Christ’s atoning blood only through faith, and it ensures that peace with God forever makes everything right– even when our whole world is falling apart” (124).
