| Summary |
Jesus calls his followers to be salt and light in a fallen world. Through the ages, believers have grappled with what form Christian cultural engagement should take. Various Christian thinkers have advocated models of engagement, and some recent models have used the discourse of the battlefield to speak of "winning the culture war." In a post-Constantinian, post-Christian culture, how are believers to live in the world without being of the world? Throughout his ministry, David S. Dockery has persistently advocated "convictional civility" as a vision for contemporary engagement-in which witness. |
