In Rules for Reformers, Douglas Wilson poaches the politics craft of radical progressives and applies it to Christian initiatives in today’s culture war. The effect can be a spicy mixture of combat manual and cultural manifesto. Guidelines for Reformers can be a bit proclamation of sophistication, a little bit Art of War, and a little bit analysis of past embarrassments and current cowardice, all mixed as well as a bunch of advanced knife-fighting techniques. As motivating since it is provocative, Guidelines for Reformers is merely plain good to read.
