Instructions
Reflect upon your readings for this unit and review the information given in the Unit Introduction.
For your initial post, address three particular topics with a substantive paragraph on each. Critically engage the textbook, the lecture, and each other in this response!
Our Culture – I Chron. 12:32 says that “…the children of Issachar…were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.” Assess the culture of our day.
Culture and the Church – Dietrich Bonhoeffer challenges the church to faithfully answer this question: What is our mission? 1) To dominate culture? 2) To engage culture? or 3) To succumb to culture? Also, your lecture says on p. 2, par. 2 that “Our culture bleeds into our churches?” Good? Bad? Or indifferent?
Culture and Character – In light of the Church’s mission, what is the posture of the pastor in a “politically-correct” culture? How can a pastor be theologically-faithful and culturally-relevant at the same time?
Your grading for each discussion will reference three particulars: 1) personal insight, 2) critical engagement of textbook, lecture, and peers, and 3) solid, substantive content.
