Synopsis
What is culture that we are mindful of it? Christians in Culture seeks to answer this question by considering the Christian worldview and its application to the various spheres of life. We are committed not only to being hearers of the Word but also doers of the Word. We do not believe that we should forsake culture, nor that we should accept it uncritically. Rather, Jesus the Christ calls us to engage it under His all-encompassing lordship. God does not redeem us to remove us from the world. He commands that we engage it as the salt of the earth and the light of the world, as witnesses to the gospel of His kingdom.
Christ calls us to place all areas of culture under His lordship and the authority of His Word. Whether you are interested in arts and entertainment, sports and recreation, technology and science, politics and economics, labor and vocation, or history and tradition, this book is relevant for you. It provides biblical and theological foundations for thinking Christianly about these areas and living Christianly within them. Christians in Culture. invites you to cultivate a Christian worldview for all of life―a worldview that is holistic, wise, and transformative.
