"Ariel Durant, "There is no significant example in history, before our time, of a society successfully maintaining moral life without the aid of religion." The Durants add a foreboding remark, "The greatest question of our time is . . . whether men can live without God." Amid such confusion, Christians should be positioned to provide the guidance our society needs. With regret I must say frankly that I doubt that will happen. Because of our failure to live out our beliefs, our own lack of moral clarity, and our meddling with partisan politics, Western culture no longer looks to Christianity as its moral source. That reality introduces major problems for lawmakers. And it raises major questions for believers too. How should we relate to, and communicate faith to, those who see the world so differently?"
