Title
Either/Or: The Gospel of Neopaganism - Paperback
by Carl E. Braaten (Editor), Robert W. Jenson (Editor)
Many mainline church members no longer understand what Christianity really is and why they themselves are Christians. Bible-centered doctrine is being adulterated, and the meaning of Christian living is being compromised by the pagan elements of modern culture. America is a new mission field where the gospel is in a life-and-death struggle with the "spirits of the age."
Seeking a return from pagan tendencies to biblical orthodoxy, the contributors to Either/Or argue that neopaganism in not merely an objective threat from outside the walls of the church, but has permeated the church's inner life under such guises as "pluralism," "multiculturalism," " feminism," and "hospitality." They address the crucial issues facing the church and explore the implications of these issues for preaching, worship, pastoral care, and evangelism. Contributors:Carl E. Braaten

Christians have been slow to recognize the pagan elements in modern culture. Those who believe that America is a Christian nation are blind to the pagan forces that influence all aspects of life. The contributors to this volume hold that America is now a new mission field where the gospel is in a life-and-death struggle with 'the spirits of the age.'
