Culture is the way that humans organize their lives in a particular place and time. It includes everything from our language to our customs, to our values. As image-bearers of God, we are called to be salt and light in culture, bringing redemption and transformation to all areas of life. However, often the relationship between faith and culture is hard to navigate.The Way of Christ in Culture: A Vision for All of Life by Benjamin Quinn and Dennis Greeson provides a framework for how to think rightly about the relationship between faith and culture. The authors survey the biblical narrative to develop a theology of culture. They focus on knowing one’s time in God’s story, one’s place in creation, and following the way of Wisdom. These themes help Christians evaluate their callings and responsibilities in society and equip them with the categories to think Christianly about every arena of culture.
