ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
"One of the church's most important and provocative thinkers." Voted "One of the 50 Most Influential Christians in America" (2006, 2207)
"No church leader understands better how to navigate the seas of the 21st century."
"A writer of vast imagination, poise and charm."
"I can't imagine a Christian leader in America who hasn't read one or more of Leonard Sweet's books."
"Some statistician-types will drown you in doom and gloom. Sweet's message is uplifting, hopeful and relevant."
These are but a sampling of responses to Len's three-ring mission: as a historian of American culture; as a futurist/semiotician who "sees things the rest of us do not see, and dreams possibilities that are beyond most of our imagining;" and as a preacher and writer who communicates the gospel powerfully to a postmodem age by bridging the worlds of academe and popular culture.
