Looking back on his first book now forty-seven years later, prolific Christian thinker and author Guinness, sees the first edition of this work as showing how the seeds of the Left's cultural Marxist taking small step, gradual control of the cultural gatekeepers to now producing fruits in the 21st Century. For this reviewer who grew up in these '60s, I concur. He quotes a TIME writer describing this decade: "Like a knife blade the year (1968) severed past from future."
In a journalistic fashion, Guinness examines the decades Striptease of Humanism, Optimism or Pessimism debate, its Counter-Culture thrust, its love and engagement with The East without any exit, its addition to Violence, Counterfeit Infinity, its Affection for the Occult, Psychodelic Drugs, and finally, The Third Wave as the alternative.
This Third Wave is Christianity. However, he states in the Preface to this new edition: I would change my Third Wave view to include more of Christians engaging this cultural takeover in the Public Square. Agree. We gave up the gatekeepers without much of a fight.
Truly recommended reading and reflection.
