Is culture a theologically neutral concept? The contemporary
experts on culture - anthropologists and sociologists - argue that
it is. Theologians and missiologists would seem to agree, given the
extent of their reliance on anthropological and sociological
definitions of culture. Yet this appears a strange reliance given
that presumed neutrality in the sciences is a consistently
challenged assumption. It is stranger still given that so much
theological energy has been expended on understanding and defining
the human person in specifically theological as opposed to
anthropological terms when culture is in some sense the expression
of this personhood in corporate and material forms. This book
argues that culture is not and has never been a theologically
neutral concept; rather, it always expresses some theological
posture and is therefore a term that naturally invites theological
investigation. Going about this task is difficult, however, in the
face of a long-term reliance on the social sciences that seems to
have starved the contemporary theological community of resources
for defining culture. However, rich subterranean veins for such a
task do exist within the recent tradition, most notably in the
writings of John Milbank, Karl Barth, and Kwame Bediako.
