Book Summary of Christians in the Age of Outrage by Ed Stetzer


Why is everyone angry? Increasingly in our world, everyone is upset about everything. People from all points along the political and social spectrums are being attacked by online mobs. We live in an age of outrage. 

Christians are both the recipients of and contributors to the outrage growing in our culture. In order for Christians to live faithfully in the world, believers must understand what is fueling the outrage and how to engage it. 

Retreat and inaction are not biblical options for the faithful, so Christians must think deeply on how to cut through the noise of the anger and meet a lost world with compassion and truth. It is important that "Christians move from contributing to the age of outrage to effectively engaging it with the gospel" (p. xvii).

In order for this to happen, Christians must shape their worldview by the gospel, not give in to rage, and see the world with compassion, grace, empathy, and humility.
