The gospel of Jesus Christ is always situated within a particular
cultural context. But how should Christians approach the complex
relationship between our faith and our surrounding culture? Should
we simply retreat from culture? Should we embrace our cultural
practices and mindset? How important is it for us to be engaged in
our culture? And how might we do that with discernment and
faithfulness? William Edgar offers a rich biblical theology in
light of our contemporary culture that contends that Christians
should--indeed, must--be engaged in the surrounding culture. By
exploring what Scripture has to say about the role of culture and
by gleaning insights from a variety of theologians of
culture--including Abraham Kuyper, T. S. Eliot, H. Richard Niebuhr,
and C. S. Lewis--Edgar contends that cultural engagement is a
fundamental aspect of human existence. He does not shy away from
those passages that emphasize the distinction between Christians
and the world. Yet he finds, shining through the biblical witness,
evidence that supports a robust defense of the cultural mandate to
"be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it"
(Genesis 1:28). With clarity and wisdom, Edgar argues that we are
most faithful to our calling as God's creatures when we participate
in creating culture. IVP Instructor Resources forthcoming
