SACRED MEETS SECULAR

Cheryl D. Holmes, PhD, documents commonality and difference existing bwtween the Christ-centered life practice and secular assertiveness. Terms defined in the introduction serve to guide the reader s exploration of how people voluntarily adopt one of the two accountability life practices while remaining immersed in secular society. The text examines how research participants learn to perceive and respond to three tension-generating dilemmas: anger and rage, gossip and speaking ill of others, and acting on sexual desire while single. Why study the relationship between these populations? We can ill afford to neglect comparative discourse regarding the populations studied. Absent objective review; we are not able to comprehend and appreciate the unique import associated with commonality and difference existing in the relationship between the two accountability life practices and the broader secular world. Read and learn the import and impact of individuals who voluntarily adopt a life practice perceived as inconsistent with dominant culture reality while living within the broader contemporary secular society.
