Devotionals

Strachan writes with one primary goal: to introduce Colson and his ways to a generation of evangelicals in need of bold, intellectual engagement within an increasingly secularizing culture. Strachan believes that by examining the life of Colson, a new generation of evangelicals can gain a glimpse of what effective public square engagement must look like both in tactic and style.

“The endless cycle of idea and action, Endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word. All our knowledge brings us nearer to death, But nearness to death no nearer to God. Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? T. S. Eliot, The Rock”
