Barna: We're Experiencing Another Reformation, and Not in a Good Way
A new report released Tuesday by the Cultural Research Center (CRC) of Arizona Christian University has a troubling conclusion. American Christians are undergoing a "post-Christian Reformation," says Dr. George Barna, Director of Research at the CRC. Unlike the Protestant Reformation, whose goal was to return to the foundational teachings of the Bible, this modern movement is one where Americans are redefining biblical beliefs according to secular values.
"While the survey cannot determine if churches are failing to teach biblical truth or whether congregants are exposed to such teaching but rejecting it, the bottom line is that we are a society that has strayed far from the path of biblical truth," said Dr. George Barna in a summary of the findings. "It certainly seems as if the culture is influencing the Church more than the church is influencing the culture."
