Summary

Generally speaking, students, theologians, pastors, and church leaders are well trained in the task of biblical exegesis. Where many fall short, however, is in the area of cultural exegesis-reading and interpreting the texts and trends produced by our culture, which can have a profound influence on the way we understand the world and practice our faith. Anyone interested in the intersection of Christianity and culture needs to be able to do "everyday theology." This innovative volume will help readers think theologically about our cultural environment and respond faithfully as Christian disciples. Book jacket.
