Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-01 00:00:00 Jeffrey Terry Mr. Blamires comes from an anglican perspective, and while there were some things in this book that I didn't fully agree with, the message of the book is very good, and there are some absolutely phenomenal chapters. Definitely some underlined paragraphs that I will be revisiting. The book presents a basic problem: there is no Christian mind today. In other words, Christians have given up the battle ground of Christian worldview-warfare. By relegating Christianity to only the "spiritual" realm, we have allowed secularism to have the final word on all the other areas of life, such as business, politics, economics, etc. Mr. Blamires sounds the battle cry for recapturing those areas for Christ and seeing everything again from a Christian mind.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-18 00:00:00 Chris Farrell This was a profoundly important book in my intellectual development. It asks the critical question of our age for Christians that gets to the heart of our worldview. However, each time I read it, I realize certain things: 1. My earlier struggles to understand bits of the book were partly because of my own laziness in reading; 2. However, it is also because it is a disclocating book, meant to challenge and set apart by several decades; 3. And, thus, at times Blamires comes off as a bit of a grump--in a sort of Gadfly-loving, smart uncle kind of way; 4. So, there are few today that would take the time to bridge the distance to get the key materials while ignoring the grumpy and irrelevant bits. The book needs to be rewritten for new contexts, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the person to do it, though I would love to.
