 You don't need to go back beyond the 20th century to find those who, in our own lifetime, have predicted the end of Christianity. Christianity will go away now, they said. After all, people know far too much. They're able to communicate far too easily. We have now moved beyond all of that nonsense about a creator God and of his sovereign plan for the universe and of his coming in Jesus of Nazareth. All of this will eventually blow away in the breeze.
