“CHRISTIANITY THEN and NOW: CAN IT BE SAVED?” By George McCully
SOUTH DEERFIELD, Mass., Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Historian and philanthropist George McCully has published “Christianity Then and Now: Can it Be Saved?” presenting an authoritative definition of Christianity based on a new analysis of John’s Gospel and later leaders, concluding with an original history of secularization and a proposed strategy of updates needed today for recovery from fatal subversion by secularity.
McCully has shown that John’s Gospel was a systematic argument for the divinity of Jesus, consonant with Classical Stoicism so that Christianity could become a world religion. Each chapter presents fresh insights from a lifetime of scholarship, on St. Augustine, the Christian millennium, Luther, William Tyndale, Thomas Cranmer, and Richard Hooker, with an original history of secularization as cultural disintegration, leading to modern secularity as fragmentation, and Christianity’s current crisis in church membership.
“Secular culture, because fragmented, is intrinsically problematic— personally unsatisfying and causing world crises.” “Christianity is essentially spiritual, not institutional…about people and their souls, not churches. Its wholeness and depth are its strength, a strategic solution—de-secularization—defining lives and the world as coherent wholes rather than in separate pieces.”
