The Benedict option : a strategy for Christians in a post-Christian nation / [print] Rod Dreher. - New York, New York : Sentinel, (c)2017. - viii, 262 pages ; 24 cm
Introduction: The awakening The great flood The roots of the crisis A rule for living A new kind of Christian politics A church for all seasons The idea of a Christian village Education as Christian formation Preparing for hard labor Eros and the new Christian counterculture Man and the machine Conclusion: The Benedict decision.
In a radical vision for the future of Christianity, American Conservative columnist Rod Dreher calls on American Christians to prepare for the coming Dark Age by embracing an ancient Christian way of life. From the inside, American churches are hollowed out by the departure of young people and by an insipid pseudo-Christianity. From the outside, they are beset by challenges to religious liberty in a rapidly secularizing culture. Keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House might have bought a brief reprieve from the state's assault, but it will not stop the West's slide into decadence and dissolution. Rod Dreher argues that the way forward is actually the way back
