How should we reflect theologically about culture? Tim Gorringe
presents a threefold, and interrelated, reflection organised around
culture, power and mission. First, Gorringe interrogates culture
through contemporary cultural studies but also through the
contribution of the great eighteenth century theologian, J.G.
Herder. He concludes by considering the question of cultural
imperialism. Secondly, Gorringe asks where power is located in
culture, and how the church relates to that, arguing that the
central theses of liberation theology are far from dead. The third
part turns to questions of mission, asking whether this is morally
feasible in a culturally pluralist world and considering the
implications of Samuel Huntington's notorious thesis of the 'clash
of civilizations'. Gorringe argues that mission is in fact a vital
part of a respectful multicultural society.
