520 |a Since the publication of Rod Dreher's The Benedict Option, commentators have scrutinized his claim that the Western church is undergoing an existential crisis. Many doubt that the state of Western Christianity is as dire as Dreher thinks. But the more important question is, even if Dreher's warnings of a crisis are inaccurate, what reason do we have for not adopting his suggested practices? This essay attempts to show that the Benedict Option, rather than being a retreat from the world as is commonly believed, is consonant with evangelicalism's emphasis on mission and outreach. Specifically, it is an attempt to live out the parable of salt and light by grounding people in Christian distinctiveness so that their light to the world can shine truly.
