Amazon.com Review: Being fully God and fully human, Jesus raised an enduring question for his followers: what exactly was His place in this world? In the classic Christ and Culture, H. Richard Niebuhr crafted a magisterial survey of the many ways of answering that question--and the related question of how Christ's followers understand their own place in the world. Niebuhr called the subject of this book 'the double wrestle of the church with its Lord and with the cultural society with which it lives in symbiosis.' And he described various understandings of Christ 'against,' 'of,' and 'above' culture, as well as Christ 'transforming' culture, and Christ in 'paradoxical' relation to it. This 50th anniversary edition of Christ and Culture, with a foreword by theologian Martin E. Marty, is not easy reading. But it remains among the most gripping articulations of what is arguably the most basic ethical question of the Christian faith: how is Christ relevant to the world in which we live now? --Michael Joseph Gross Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Insightful Very insightful and thought provoking.

Rating: - Not helfpul in developing a Biblical position The only helpful thing in this book was the description of the five types. This does provide a framework for analyzing different position. The types could have been defined in a much shorter work. The book does not offer clear Biblical argumentaion for or against differnt views. One flaw (which is apparently common in Liberal theology) is that he talks about the New testament writers postions as if they were contrary and not complementary to each other. For example he talks about ... Read More Rating: - Great Concepts but Difficult Reading I thought the 5 approaches were good but the reading is tedious and difficult. Actually, I thought the articles and reviews ABOUT this book were much easier to understand and more helpful on the subject than the book itself. Rating: - Dated . . . but . . . Foundational What do I mean by dated . . . but . . . foundational? DATED Christ and Culture has been around for over half a century now. When first penned it attempted to describe all the various ways in which Christians interact with culture, and make sense of it. The book was profound, for its time period. However, a lot of theology has been written since 1951 and culture has changed even more. At first glance the reader might find himself or herself toying with several ideas that are more ...
