Reclaiming Morality in America

by William Murchison

Nationally syndicated columnist William Murchison clearly and persuasively shows that America's moral troubles result from our falling away from traditional religious teachings. He offers specific, Bible-centered solutions to those who want to rebuild America's solid moral foundation and bring about a recovery that cures both the illness and the symptoms.

In trying to include the religious and non-religious as his audience, Murchinson seems to limit how intricately he chooses to speak about God as the author of morality. He argues much that the 60's and beyond tore down many good social norms. The outcome has shown these libertarian views to be wrong, but his arguments on how we can create a culture of morality today (he wrote in 1994) is very weak. He seems to rely upon the wisdom and good nature of mankind to figure out that libertarian thinking is not all it is thought to be, rather than crying out to God to bring revival through rightly fearing the power, judgment and accountability of God and trusting in Christ as Savior and Lord which brings about the change of heart that is needed in lives today. It would also have been helpful to have more documentation and less rhetoric in stating how libertarian views have been found wanting (though I agree with his assessment and he had some).
