Challenging Quote from Mike Cosper's Book on Esther

“I’m thinking especially of evangelicalism—my own tradition—where in the name of contextualization, we’ve embraced so many aspects of a celebrity-driven, consumeristic, and technocratic culture. Is an argument from history persuasive coming from a church that looks nothing like the church of history? Whose members know none of its creeds and lack training in core practices? Who's holidays have been co-opted by consumerism? If an existential crisis were to strike us and one of our leaders called for a fast, would we even know what to do?” (Mike Cosper, Faith Among the Faithless: Learning from Esther How to Live in a World Gone Mad, p. 170)
