Hi Susan, I read your article with interest. It made me wonder whether you might have come across the book
To Change the World: The Irony, Tragedy, and Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World
by James Davison Hunter, published by Oxford University Press.
It has been over a year since I read it, but as I recall, he argues that the several types of Christians in America each in their own way misconstrue the source of culture and power and therefore aim their reform measures at the wrong targets. It is not only a critical book, but one that offers a means of world-changing, but I am not going to characterize that, because that’s not what stand out in my mind right now. Might be worth a look.
And sorry if this is double posted–I seem to have lost my first comment.
