Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The gospel of Jesus Christ is always situated within a particular cultural context – but how, as Christians, should we approach the complex relationship between our faith and our surrounding culture? William Edgar offers a biblical theology in the light of our contemporary culture which contends that Christians should – indeed, must – be engaged in it. By exploring what Scripture has to say about the role of culture and by gleaning insights from key commentators, Edgar stresses 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 defence 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.
