Some of the essays scan the ways previous Christians have tried to evaluate each cultural slice; all of them offer some guidance regarding what Christians need to bear in mind as our culture rushes on.

The aim throughout is to foster fidelity to Christ and his gospel while encouraging a comprehensive Christian outlook on our rapidly changing world.
