Recenzje

"In Forces of Secularity in the Modern World Stephen Strehle gives an excellent account of how our current culture has come to reject the Christian worldview and embrace radical secularization. Strehle masterfully shows how the industries of entertainment, academia, journalism, and technology have led us to a point where secularism is exalted, and religion is treated as profane."-Shannon Holzer, Editor, Routledge Handbook of Church and State
