The Liberation of the World

Christians today are involved in a twofold conflict that, at its heart, is spiritual in nature, and whose outcome will determine the profile that will characterize the societies of this century. In the West, fundamentalist atheism has replaced the biblical framework with moral relativism. From the East, radical Islam is launching jihad against a materialistic West. How should Christians respond?

Darrow Miller challenges us to rethink and restore the mission of the church – the Great Commission – amidst these profound conflicts. We must immerse nations in the culture of the kingdom, and anticipate the consummation of Christ's kingdom, when all nations present the glory of their culture to the kingdom of God. We must confront tyranny with love and service, and lies with truth, goodness, and beauty. The great challenges of our time offer an excellent opportunity: to free the world through the power of Christ.

"Western civilization faces two types of threats: some come from radical secularism and others from radical Islam. Darrow argues that these threats are intimately related, as it is precisely the loss of a biblical worldview that has weakened the West from within, and what has made it vulnerable to external destructive forces. In this encouraging and insightful book, Miller makes an urgent call to recover the life-giving freedom that has historically blossomed thanks to the application of biblical truth in all spheres of life."

"Darrow Miller's book contains a perceptive analysis of the troubling trends reigning in a troubled world, which today threaten to drag history down a pernicious path. It also offers several concrete steps based on Scripture that Christians can take to oppose these trends and positively transform their cultures for good. I heartily recommend it."
