It may seem a surprising claim, but some of the most brilliant and original critics of modernity have been shaped by Christianity. In "Subversive Orthodoxy", Robert Inchausti maps out a tradition of twentieth century thinkers - including philosophers, activists, and novelists - whose "unique contributions to secular thought derive from their Christian worldviews." Inchausti revisits the lives and work of a stunning array of well-known Christian thinkers as well as figures not often thought of as Christian. From Walker Percy to Dorothy Day, Jacques Ellul to Marshall McLuhan, Inchausti offers a fascinating who's who of what he calls the "orthodox avant-garde." "Subversive Orthodoxy" will be an informative and encouraging read for pastors, laypeople, and students concerned about the Christian response to secular ideologies.
