Welcome to the podcast Think Bibbically, conversations on faith and culture.

I'm your host Sean Macau, Professor of Apologetics at Taub but School of Theology,

Biola University.

Today we have a return guest who I'm excited to hear from again

Pastor David Platt,

author of Radical New York Times best-selling book

to discuss another book you've written that

especially grab my attention because it covers a number of areas that I teach at

Pastor Platt, thanks for coming back in the program.

It's good to be back.

So let's jump into this book, and I have a question.

to say increasingly secular or post-Christian but in the subtitle it's anti-Christian now

make that decision but tell me the choice to do that because I could imagine some

people saying the concern would be is it could create an us versus them

mentality with culture. I know that's what you don't want to do. So tell me why you

would describe our culture as being anti-Christian. I would just say I guess I'm thinking here and part of

this is fresh my mind just preaching through First Corinthians right now in the church
