This book is well written and is a bold and clear presentation of Dr Sookhdeo’s thesis: ‘The death of Western Christianity’: drinking from the poisoned wells of the cultural revolution’. It is also helpful in finding out what LGBTQQIP2SAA means.
In his introduction, by the use of various (global and secular) statistics, Dr Sookhdeo develops his thesis with clarity and laments the decline of church attendance over decades. He does not hold back as he surveys the evidence: ‘Since the 1960s Christian leaders have progressively betrayed the gospel’; ‘The humanist leaders were zealous and creative evangelists, surpassing the fervour of Christian missionaries’. He believes that the hypocrisy of many contemporary evangelical groups like God TV and Christian Today have led to a failure to discern the good from the bad in today’s godless Western culture by their support for, and praise of, ‘raunch culture celebrities’.
