Concluding Thoughts: Mapping the Modern Social Imaginary
As we have seen, the atomistic worldview powerfully shapes personal identity and relationships. Although belief in God still persists, we are becoming a generation of “practical atheists,” living as if God does not exist. Instead of living in a “cosmos” where things and people are intrinsically connected to God and each other, we live in a “disenchanted” earth, a morally neutral sphere on which we walk unconnected to and unencumbered by others. As Christians, too, we have been tempted to build churches without steeples—that is, to live our lives within the low horizons of the modern world.
In this first part of the book, we have mapped the anatomy of the modern social imaginary as well as its comprehensive formation of personal identity and relationships in the likeness of its own image. If this modern worldview has installed an idol—or false substitute—in the place of God, then what would a Christian social imaginary look like, one that effectively counterforms disciples in the reflection of the true image of the One who calls us his own?
