Theology and Culture: A Guide to the Discussion

Product Description


Starting from a series of questions about the nature of our speaking to God, the author draws our attention to what we mean by culture, and how we use this very complex term both in our everyday language and especially in the language of faith. Culture is an exceedingly complex term that nearly everyone uses, but no one is sure what it means. This work examines various uses of the term culture in theology today.


Review


“The nature of culture is vital to the theologian because the question ‘can we speak about God’ becomes a question about culture.” (Ed Moll
Churchman)

‘Stephen Long provides students and instructors with a much-needed (and appreciated) guide to the relationship between theology and culture. […] an ideal resource for an ‘issue-based’ course in theology or as a supplemental text for a course on modern theology.’ (Micheal W. DeLashmutt
Modern Believing 1900-01-00)
