How do we live faithfully in a country becoming more and more hostile to our faith in Christ?

Like the Israelites in Babylon, we must find a way to maintain our faith in the midst of a pagan culture. But that requires we answer two crucial questions:

  • How did we get here?
  • How do we prepare for the dark and difficult days ahead?

In The Church in Babylon, Dr. Lutzer answers both of these questions. He will walk you through the many parallels between the church in America and God’s people in Babylon, and embolden you to be a gospel witness. You’ll be encouraged not to compromise your faith even when under constant pressure from all corners of society. And more than all this you will have a fresh encounter with Jesus Christ, as you consider the biblical role of those in exile.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

How do we live faithfully in a culture that perceives our light as darkness?

Daniel faced this challenge just as we do. A captive in a pagan land, Daniel resolved to faithfully follow God while also serving in a nation that hated his God. Can we do the same?  Like the Jews in Babylon, we must learn to engage our culture without being spiritually destroyed by it.

In The Church in Babylon, Dr. Erwin Lutzer will encourage you to do just that, by answering the pressing questions of our day like:

  • How do we love, lead, and serve with Christ’s heart and mind in today’s Babylon?
  • What are the five false gospels in our churches and how do we stay true to our Christian witness?
  • How do we respond to transgenderism and Muslim immigration with biblical truth and compassion?

We are moral and spiritual exiles in a culture growing increasingly hostile toward Christianity. But God is faithful. Let us move forward in hope, remembering that it is in times of darkness that God’s light shines most clearly.
