Rodney Clapp's "A Peculiar People: The Church as Culture in a Post-Christian Society" offers a profound analysis of the church's role in a post-Christian society. Clapp argues that Christians feel increasingly useless in a culture that no longer sees Christianity as necessary to its existence. He suggests that the church must reclaim its heritage as a peculiar people and develop a subversive culture that offers an alternative way of life. Clapp's work encourages Christians to live the story of their faith rather than merely restate it, providing a fresh revisioning of the Christian enterprise for the 21st century.
