I just ran across Antithe­sis, a site that pur­ports to be “a voice from the emerg­ing Chris­t­ian counterculture.”

That’s over­stat­ing the case a bit: there is a real (evan­gel­i­cal) Chris­t­ian coun­ter­cul­ture and these guys ain’t it.

Still, their site is worth­while. Their basic premise is that North Amer­i­can Chris­tian­ity has so iden­ti­fied with our soci­ety that we can­not stand against it, for that would be to destroy our­selves. There­fore, they have decided to be a voice for true ref­or­ma­tion and a call to thought­ful reflec­tion on what it means to be a devoted appren­tice of Jesus.

This site is com­ing from a Reformed tra­di­tion (def­i­n­i­tion: that sort of means they per­ceive them­selves to be fol­low­ing in the foot­steps of John Calvin). The rea­son I men­tion that is that I don’t agree with all their the­ol­ogy (and actu­ally have some seri­ous points of con­tention with them), but I still think their fam­ily of sites is worth check­ing out.
