Theology and Culture
A Guide to the Discussion
by D. Stephen Long
ISBN: 9781556350528
$17.00 Paperback
Cascade Books
Modernity, Steve Long tells us with his patented acerbity, is a broken record that never stops repeating its supposed novelty. If broken records require sharp, swift smacks to be knocked out of their tiresome grooves, Long's palm-sized book delivers a salutary slap that gets us back on track--and out of confused modern conceptualities that pit theology against culture. An excellent, masterly introduction to its topic.--Rodney Clapp, author of A Peculiar People and Border Crossings
