The notion that the "West" is in decline has become a prevalent topic of discussion across the world. But what does this decline entail? Is it the decline of its financial and economic system? Is it the deterioration of Western Civilization's culture, the twilight of its political hegemony or is it something much deeper that goes beyond all the usual categories of thought? Concurrently, for the majority of the 20th century and into the 21st, the "West" was largely equated with Christianity.

The notion that the "West" is in decline has become a prevalent topic of discussion across the world. But what does this decline entail? Is it the decline of its financial and economic system? Is it the deterioration of Western Civilization's culture, the twilight of its political hegemony or is it something much deeper that goes beyond all the usual categories of thought? Concurrently, for the majority of the 20th century and into the 21st, the "West" was largely equated with Christianity. However, the last decade has seen the Information Age challenge this notion, casting Christianity as an irrelevant relic of a bygone era. But are any of these perceptions of Christianity true? If not, what is the true essence of Christianity and its significance in the modern world? Tangentially, as we are living in what is informally called the Anthropocene, and we are facing the alarming prospects of what has been identified as the global polycrisis, which is challenging the very viability of the world and humanity as a species, what is the relevance of of the ancient worldview of Christianity to the existential challenges of the 21st century? In the midst of civilizational collapse, and significant levels of environmental crisis, what answers can Christianity give for the times we live in?
In this book, the author explores the significance of Christianity amid the civilizational upheaval of the present world-order. He argues that the core problem of the West's decline and the polycrisis lies in humanity's estrangement from God, their own selves, and the natural world. Carefully distinguishing between the secular categories of Christianity and Christendom, between Christianity and religion, and between Christianity and the Numinous, the author examines an argument for God's existence based on the existential postulate of consciousness. From this, he presents a vision that acknowledges reality in its true form, rather than in the narrow confines of metaphysical materialism. He examines the worldsense of consciousness, the ancient covenant of humanity with God, their alienation and the subsequent civilizational cycles that have plagued humanity all across time. He presents Christianity as the answer to the Anthropocene and the redemption of humanity's existential crisis through the mystery of the Person of Jesus Christ as the incarnation of the universal and cosmic order. Most importantly, he shows how Christianity as it is, rather than how it has been perceived, is the final realization of the unfolding of God and how it gives answers to humanity's urgent questions of the 21st century.
