Culture & Mission: Week 1 Monday

If we as Christians are to embrace the culture at large as a capable mode of God’s general revelation, we need to consider God’s revelation in other religions as an aspect of our culture. Other religions offer serious insights about the world and beyond because God’s voice rings out across all creation. This realization has an inevitable impact on our missiology because it causes us to adopt a posture of conciliation rather than contention. The painstaking work of carefully sorting through the good and bad elements of thought-systems different than our own is more respectful of God and of others than dismissing them wholesale.
