Starting from a series of questions about the nature of our speaking to God, the author draws our attention to what we mean by culture, and how we use this very complex term both in our everyday language and especially in the language of faith. Culture is an exceedingly complex term that nearly everyone uses, yet few know what it means. This work examines various uses of the term culture in theology today.
"Long succeeds in demonstrarting the primary nature of this question [theology's relation to culture] and its importance as a foundational discussion for theology...this would make a most thought-provoking book for an advanced college student, or for an undergraduate seeking an effective and speedy introduction to the debate." Brutus Green, Theology vol 114, no.4 (July/August 2011) 'The nature of culture is vital to the theologian because the question 'can we speak about God' becomes a question about culture.' Ed Moll, Churchman, 127/3, Autumn 2013 'Stephen Long provides students and instructors with a much-needed (and appreciated) guide to the relationship between theology and culture. ... an ideal resource for an 'issue-based' course in theology or as a supplemental text for a course on modern theology.' Micheal W. DeLashmutt, Modern Believing, Vol. 54.4
