Description
Created and Creating: A Biblical Theology of Culture explores the complex relationship between faith and culture. William Edgar argues that Christians should engage with their surroundings, not retreat from them.
The author contends that cultural engagement is fundamental to human existence, based on a biblical mandate to 'be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it'.
Edgar examines the role of culture in Scripture and draws on insights from various theologians to make a case for Christians participating in creating culture with discernment and faithfulness.
