Culture Making 2.0: Part One
In my recent post on December 7, I began discussing some of the similarities, as well as differences, between our topic of the Bible’s grand narrative of place (and placemaking) and the topic of culture making. I hope to explore comparisons more fully in 2022, pointing out how the Bible’s grand narrative of place advances the conversations about culture making in helpful ways.
To begin, I will first review a classic on the topic of cultural engagement, namely H. Richard Niebuhr’s book, Christ and Culture. So, if you wish to join me in this process, you may enjoy reading it too. After reading Niebuhr, I would like to re-read few subsequent books that built off of Niebuhr’s classic, such as D. A. Carson’s Christ and Culture Revisited and Andy Crouch’s Culture Making.
In other words, if you are the adventuresome type, why not dig out an old copy of his book or order a new one on Amazon. It is a fairly inexpensive and enjoyable read. I look forward to sharing my observations with you next year.
Until then … happy “homework” … and of course, happy New Year!
