The Rebirth of Orthodoxy: Signs of New Life in Christianity (eBook)

Thomas C. Oden · The International Edition

A reversal has occurred in our time. The faithful have in fact outlived the collapse of the foundations of secular society. The modern outlook is disintegrating, but communities of traditional faith flourish more than ever. We are witnessing an emerging resolve in worldwide Christianity and Judaism to reclaim the familiar classic spiritual disciplines: close study of scripture, daily prayer, regular observance in a worshiping community, doctrinal integrity, and moral accountability. Turning from the illusions of modern life, the faithful are now quietly returning to the spiritual disciplines that have profoundly shaped their history. This is the rebirth of orthodoxy.
