We're pleased to publish this review by Dr. Miles Smith.
Recent cultural and social changes in the United States have prompted concerned Christians to pick up their pens and address their respective flocks on the question of how to maintain Christian witness in an increasingly hostile society. Amidst the concern, Charles Chaput, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Philadelphia, offers a work worth reading not for its radicalism or sensationalism, but because of the simple advice it offers. Christians should simply do what Christians have done for centuries, even if we appear strange and American society appears increasingly strange to Christians.

Thank you for offering thoughtful, reasonable and decent commentary. It is a boon to my sanity at this stage of my life in this cultural moment.

Mere Orthodoxy is (for me) a counterpoint to social media, a place of depth and critical thought.
