The Benedict Option
A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation
by:
Rod Dreher
in:
Christianity
Summary:
The book advocates for Christians to withdraw from mainstream society and create tight-knit, faith-focused communities to preserve their beliefs and lifestyles in response to what the author perceives as a decline in traditional Christian values. It discusses practical steps for education, work, and religious practice to build resilience against the secularizing forces of the modern world.
Key points:
1. The "Benedict Option": Dreher proposes that Christians should form tight communities to preserve their values in a society that's increasingly hostile to them.
