The Two Poles of Our Fragmented Culture

James Eglinton: Populism and Progressivism are two poles of our fragmented culture. In America, he says, we see the development of both blue evangelicalism and red evangelicalism. The solution cannot be some imaginary apolitical withdrawal as if that were possible, writes Eglinton. Christians must learn to engage politically yet critically, not capitulating to any reigning ideology in order to be truly salt and light in society, rather than part of its decay," he adds.
