Christianity, Empire and the Spirit
In Christianity, Empire and The Spirit, Néstor Medina uncovers the cultural processes that play a crucial role in influencing how people understand reality, express the Christian faith, and think about God. He uses decolonial thinking, Latina/o theology, and Pentecostal theology to show how the cultural dimension is a central feature in the biblical text; was the force that coopted Christianity from the imperial era of Constantine onwards; and undergirded Western European colonialism and the missionary project. He engages with Protestant and Catholic articulations on “culture” and demonstrates how most theologians perpetuate Eurocentric frames for considering the relation between Christianity and the cultural dimension. Alternatively, he offers a theological proposal that recognizes the Spirit at work in the phenomena of cultures.
Christianity and Culture
In this thought-provoking essay, renowned theologian J. Gresham Machen explores the complex relationship between Christianity and modern culture. Machen argues that the Church must not retreat from engaging with the intellectual currents of the day, but instead must work to transform them for the sake of the gospel. He presents a compelling vision for how Christians can faithfully navigate the tensions between their faith and the world of ideas, and calls for the development of a new generation of Christian scholars who can lead the way in this vital task. This timeless essay remains as relevant today as when it was first published, offering valuable insights for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of faith and culture.

Gospel Without Borders analyzes the formative and interactive roles that human nature and cultural history play in contemporary expressions of Christianity in America. It outlines their profound but little appreciated influence upon the shape and scope of Christian faith within society-at-large, the church, and the...
Created and Creating
The gospel of Jesus Christ is always situated within a particular cultural context: but how should Christians approach the complex relationship between their faith and the 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 with our culture and mindset? How might we do that with discernment and faithfulness? William Edgar offers a biblical theology in the light of our contemporary culture that contends that Christians should -- and indeed, must -- engage with the surrounding culture. By exploring what Scripture has to say about the role of culture and gleaning insights from a variety of the...
