DNF 18% of the way in. Thank you NetGalley and Harvest House Publishers for the advanced copy.
I've been interested in learning more about cancel culture, and thought this could be an interesting take since I am also a Christian. However, this isn't a book on "how can we as Christians respond to a cancel culture" as much as a reaction of "how can we as Christians fight the cancel culture that is only treating us unfairly." It is a book complaining that conservative Christians are being attacked and wanting to cancel all culture that isn't ultra-conservative-Christian, and not an open two-way street of how to be a Christian in a cancel culture, as the title says.
Quote: "But when everyone's behaving fairly (read "like adults"), then declaring our beliefs won't trigger serious rational, professional, or legal consequences." ...except that if you make racist comments or treat people as less than human, honestly, that's not behaving fairly OR like an adult. Dallas puts politically correct into quotes when he uses the term, referred to Antifa influence over political leaders, said Christians experience “cancel culture Uzi” when being asked to call a transgender female "Elizabeth", and called George Floyd protests "throwing a lethal national fit." I think you can understand the type of thinking this writer has from these examples.
Dallas says "Will we faithfully- in our pulpits, homes, and lives- profess and steward the Word of God without adding to or detracting from it?" Hopefully, yes, and hopefully, that will mean actually reading the Bible and learning how to act and treat people instead of reading this book.
