2009 Christianity Today Book Award winner Named one of Publishers
Weekly's best books of 2008 (religion category) It is not enough to
condemn culture. Nor is it sufficient merely to critique culture or
to copy culture. Most of the time, we just consume culture. But the
only way to change culture is to create culture. Andy Crouch
unleashes a stirring manifesto calling Christians to be culture
makers. For too long, Christians have had an insufficient view of
culture and have waged misguided "culture wars." But we must
reclaim the cultural mandate to be the creative cultivators that
God designed us to be. Culture is what we make of the world, both
in creating cultural artifacts as well as in making sense of the
world around us. By making chairs and omelets, languages and laws,
we participate in the good work of culture making. Crouch unpacks
the complexities of how culture works and gives us tools for
cultivating and creating culture. He navigates the dynamics of
cultural change and probes the role and efficacy of our various
cultural gestures and postures. Keen biblical exposition
demonstrates that creating culture is central to the whole
scriptural narrative, the ministry of Jesus and the call to the
church. He guards against naive assumptions about "changing the
world," but points us to hopeful examples from church history and
contemporary society of how culture is made and shaped. Ultimately,
our culture making is done in partnership with God's own making and
transforming of culture. A model of his premise, this landmark book
is sure to be a rallying cry for a new generation of culturally
creative Christians. Discover your calling and join the culture
makers.
