Now in paperback-the New York Times bestseller that sparked a nationwide debate about the future of American Christianity.
ROD DREHERis a senior editor at The American Conservative and the author of Crunchy Cons, How Dante Can Save Your Life, and The Little Way of Ruthie Leming.
“The Trump era…has not made The Benedict Option…less timely, but
more so….Conservative Christians active in politics have no choice
but to do the best they can from that unsteady, wavering position.
But only a robust counterculture, a healthy sense of their own
freakishness and, yes, a few St. Benedicts will save them if they
fall.”
—Ross Douthat, The New York Times
"The Benedict Option is already the most discussed and most
important religious book of the decade."
—David Brooks, The New York Times
"I'm more missionary than monastery, but I think every Christian
should read this book. Rod Dreher is brilliant, prophetic, and
wise. Even if you don't agree with everything in this book, there
are warnings here to heed, and habits here to practice.”
—Russell Moore, president, The Ethics & Religious Liberty
Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
“A terrific book: provocative in its content, shrewd in its
insights, vivid and engaging in its style. The strength of
The Benedict Option is not just its analysis of our culture’s
developing problems but its outline of practical ways Christians
can survive and thrive in a dramatically different America.
This is an invaluable tool for understanding our times and acting
as faithful believers.”
—Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia
"This is the kind of book I am going to use to get the thoughtful
people in my congregation reading and discussing. It is going to be
helpful to the very people who have to live on the front line."
—Carl R. Trueman, Westminster [PA] Theological Seminary; writer for
First Things
“An insightful and optimistic plan of action for Christians who are
starting to realize just how hostile American culture is to their
faith.”
—Mollie Ziegler Hemingway, senior editor, The Federalist
“Deeply convicting and motivating. This book will be a grounding
force for the Church in the decades ahead.”
—Gabe Lyons, author of Good Faith; president of Q Ideas
