The Coming Tsunami: Why Christians Are Labeled Intolerant, Irrelevant, Oppressive, and Dangerous―and How We Can Turn the Tide

In The Coming Tsunami, pastor and cultural scholar Dr. Jim Denison addresses the gravest threat Christians in America have ever faced—four cultural tidal waves threatening to submerge Christians in America and the biblical morality they proclaim. Through proactive, biblical steps, he helps us redeem these challenges so that we can live the way Jesus calls us to live.

This book is a warning sign.

The coming cultural tsunami is the gravest threat Christians in America have ever faced.

Caused by four cultural “earthquakes,” the cultural acceptance of four specific ideologies has seismically shifted our world.

With the rise of a “post-truth” culture, the expansion of the sexual revolution, the attraction of Critical Theory, and the advance of secular religion, Christians are increasingly labeled as intolerant, irrelevant, oppressive, and dangerous—the antithesis of the life Jesus calls Christians to live.

These tidal waves are threatening to submerge Christians in America and the biblical morality they proclaim. And the ultimate repercussions of these issues—the coming tsunami—have yet to be fully experienced.

In The Coming Tsunami, pastor and cultural scholar Dr. Jim Denison of the Denison Forum:

 

• assesses how our current culture came to be,
• identifies the enormous danger these cultural quakes represent,
• explores their consequences for evangelicals and our larger culture,
• and offers proactive, biblical steps to redeem these challenges as opportunities for God's word and grace.

The coming cultural tsunami will greatly impact Christians in the coming years. It will undoubtedly influence and affect your children and grandchildren. However, unlike tsunamis in nature, which cannot be stopped once they have been created, it's not too late to stop the moral tsunamis of our day.

But Christians must act now.

The rain is falling.
