The story of God . . . has now been replaced by a secular narrative. Humanity . . . no longer believes it needs the divine narrative. Reason, science, evolution and progress—these ideas replace the old narrative of creation, incarnation, re-creation. The world can now be understood without God.
-Robert E. Webber, Who Gets to Narrate the World? Contending for the Christian Story in an Age of Rivals (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2008), 88.
