That Hideous Strength: How the West was Lost [expanded edition]

Book Description:

An expanded edition examining the cancer of cultural marxism in the church, the world and the gospel of change.

Forward by Carl Truman

The first edition of this book, without footnotes and deliberately kept as short as possible, has been widely read and praised. This expanded edition is updated—two years have passed since the first edition—and has additional material and footnotes.

Endorsements:

"A very brave, fine book written with keen insight. It explains how an older worldview that once shaped the West and in which many Judeo-Christian ideas were embedded has been superseded by one in which those ideas have been uprooted. The brave new world which is dawning is one in which people liberate themselves, dominate the meaning of reality, and subject God-if he is still there-to their own ends. In this context, the church is in a decidedly countercultural position. It is here, though, that it really finds its voice. Here it is able to speak into our fragile and corrupting world and speak of the goodness, greatness and grace of God."
--David F. Wells, Distinguished Research Professor, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

"Our culture has undergone a dramatic shift in recent generations, and Christians need to see it for what it is. If you suspect a sinister underlying agenda, Melvin Tinker agrees and wants to expose it for you. Informed, insightful, and yet easily accessible, this is an important and most helpful book that will sharpen your understanding of the world you live in. I hope it will receive wide attention!"
--Fred G. Zaspel, Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church, Franconia, PA, Adjunct Professor of Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

"There are very few books I buy multiple copies of-this is one of them. That Hideous Strength is an essential primer for any Christian in seeking to understand what is going on in society today. The first edition was outstanding but limited because of its size. This new expanded edition overcomes those limitations, without becoming unwieldy or too heavy. This book should be on every church bookstall, and every Christian's bookshelf. And now I have to go and buy more of the revised edition!" 
--David Robertson, former minister of St. Peters Free Church in Dundee, Scotland
