Greg Gilbert on Hunter’s To Change the World

Greg Gilbert has a good post on Hunter’s book, with this concluding paragraph:

What I appreciate most, however, is Hunter’s humility.  For a book titled something as in-your-face as To Change the World, one would really have expected a more in-your-face conclusion than, (I paraphrase) “Can we change the world?  Well, who knows?  Probably not.  But we can perhaps, just perhaps, make it a little better by living godly lives as aliens and strangers in it.”  (The word “Irony” in the title begins to stand out, doesn’t it!)  That’s a humility, I think, that is born of the very same theological care I mentioned before.  Hunter knows that the world is fallen, he knows that God—and God alone—will finally set it right one day, and in the meantime, he wants simply to live a life that will commend that God and his gospel until that final day comes.  There’s a humility there that we can all learn from.
