A bold look at a changing world and the ideas that shape it This volume surveys the forces behind a growing “new world-life” and shows how science, history, and Christian teaching may guide society toward a more humane future. The author frames pressing global problems and offers a framework for understanding what comes next in world affairs.
Readers gain a map of the big questions driving modern civilization—how wealth, industry, and culture intersect, and what a renewed social ethic could mean for cities, nations, and faith communities. The book sets the stage for later volumes that expand on how Jesus’ teachings and scientific progress could steer humanity toward a hopeful, shared future.
