Recommended. Thought-provoking at the least. Potentially action-provoking, we'll see. Chapter 7 (Doing Justice In the Public Square) was particulary well written and enlightening with respect to why we are often in the USA unable to conduct meaningful discussions of flashpoint political issues. The short discussion on common grace and cultural engagement (in art, music, philosophy, film-making, journalism, etc.) hidden away in note 152 at the end of the book is also quite useful - citing arguments that without a strong understanding of common grace, Christians tend toward two extremes: 1) trying to force the culture to become biblically Christian or 2) withdrawal from the culture... both of which assume that God is not giving nonbelievers any wisdom, insight, or knowledge of truth.
