Description

Os Guinness traces the retreat of the evangelical mind and the dumbing down of evangelicalism through popular culture. But this book goes beyond mere analysis. It is a strong call for reformation of yet another place where evangelicalism in not evangelical enough.

Fit Bodies Fat Minds is one of my favorite books because its message whacked me on the side of my head, helping me to see things differently. It is a thin book not because of a lack of content, but because of conciseness in writing.

Guinness elaborates on certain trends that devasted the Puritan

mind that existed in the United States and left in its place a shallow Christianity. These trends include polarization, pietism, primitivism, populism, pluralism, prmatism, philitinism and premillienialism, all which are recognizable, prevelant, and revered in our Christian community today.

To Guinness, some of these trends such as pluralism are not bad in and of themselves, but the way that we ahave come to view them is.
