Who Gets to Narrate the World?: Contending for the Christian Story in an Age of Rivals
Christianity in America will not survive in our age unless it is fully rooted in the Gospel.

Praise for this book
"The author encourages readers to not only become more familiar with the history of Christianity, but in so doing, to take a stand for the kingdom of God and regain spiritual ground Christians have unknowingly surrendered."
"Webber's warnings remain valuable for those of us in the West. We are not the only game in town."--David Embree, SCJ, Spring 2009
"Robert Webber's final gift to the Christian community. I would certainly recommend this book to beginning theology readers interested in understanding the relationship of the Christian faith and culture formation."--Daniel J. Doleys, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth (rdwot.wordpress.com), February 20, 2009
"Webber's critique will resonate with many. He offers a clarion call for evangelicals to address their lack of theological depth and their excessive individualism. His plea to return to ancient traditions will appeal to those seeking rootedness in an ahistorical, evanglical world devoid of rich tradition."--David K. Strong, Missiology, February 2009
"If you read this book carefully you will hear the Christian store in new ways and be better prepared to resist the idolatries of modernity and postmodernity that Webber condemns."--Benjamin L. Hartley, PRISM, January 2009
". . .an excellent survey of worldviews.--Church Libraries, Fall 2008
". . . A thought-provoking read, a call to vie for the biblical Christian narrative in your actions. Thank you Robert Webber."--Worship Leader, July/August 2008
"This was Bob Webber's last book; it puts together all of his thinking. I highly recommend this book, not only as a quick access to Webber's seminal ideas, but as a study worth using in small groups."--Scot McKnight, Jesus Creed, June 13, 2008
"Who Gets to Narrate the World? is Webber's last book, and is a superlative note on which to leave this life."--M. O., WORLD Magazine, June 14/21 2008
"The author encourages readers to not only become more familiar with the history of Christianity, but in so doing, to take a stand for the kingdom of God and regain spiritual ground Christians have unknowingly surrendered."--Heidi L. Ippolito, Christian Retailing, May 19, 2008

"Who Gets to Narrate the World? is Webber's last book, and is a superlative note on which to leave this life."
"Bob Webber offers a broad-stroke survey of the grand narratives that seduce and bind us, and utters a passionate call for the church to teach and embody the whole sweep of God's story in a postmodern world."
