Biblical bases to engage with our culture

Today, many Christian leaders strive to achieve a growing post-Christian culture, without negotiating an orthodox theology. How do we communicate the concepts of sin, grace and atonement in our culture and in our contexts?

In his award-winning book Centered Church , bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller traces a theological vision organized around three commitments: gospel, city, and movement. In Loving the City , Keller presents a biblical framework with which Christians can interact with culture in a respectful yet challenging way. It articulates the key features of a vision of the city, showing how the theme of the city develops throughout Scripture, from its origins in creation to its culmination in glorious redemption. Keller unpacks four biblical models for engaging with culture and shows the strengths and weaknesses of each, then challenges ministry leaders, regardless of their background, to incorporate the key theological reflections of each model.

This edition develops the content of the second part of Iglesia Centro in an easy-to-read format, and also includes the reflections of three collaborators—Daniel Strange, Gabriel Salguero and Andy Crouch—who will delve into the topics of sharing our beliefs with others. believers, of idolatry in methodology and of the introduction of a model of cultural attraction rooted in the imago Dei , as well as includes Timothy Keller's profound responses on these topics.

recommendations

“In a rapidly changing culture that seems strange to many Christians (just as Christians seem strange to many in the culture!), it is easy for believers to give up and adopt a totally defensive posture. In this important book, Tim Keller explains the gospel and carefully but firmly reminds us that it is non-negotiable. At the same time it allows us to reflect on how we can responsibly interact with culture, how we can—indeed, should—appreciate the good things in it, and how we can firmly and faithfully apply the gospel. However, it is not a practical and mechanical book; rather, it is a reflective meditation on very important themes of Scripture, written by someone who has faithfully exercised a pastoral ministry in a large city for two decades.”
- DA Carson, author of The God Who Is Present

“No one has heard more intimately the harmonies of city, culture, church and Scripture than Tim Keller. In Centered Church, he not only describes the different chords of the music, but tells us how he has orchestrated the results to benefit the ministry of evangelistic outreach and renewal. “It is now our turn to listen, as Tim practically but powerfully prepares us to participate in this great gospel symphony.”
- Bryan Chapell, author of Christ-Centered Preaching and Grace Without Limits

“This extraordinary book, like the Manhattan ministry from which it emanates, demonstrates how Reformed theological discernment and wise pastoral intelligence can combine to achieve spiritual results in urban contexts everywhere. Each page illustrates. Keller is a tremendous gift to the church today.”
- JI Packer, author of Knowing God
