Created & Creating : A Biblical Theology of Culture
Outline: The author 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 - he contends that culture engagement is a fundamental aspect of human existence. The author does not shy away from those passages that emphasize the distinction between Christians and the world. Yet the author 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." With clarity and wisdom, the author argues that we are most faithful to our calling as God's creatures when we participate in creating culture.
