This 50th-anniversary edition, with a new foreword by the distinguished historian Martin E. Marty, who regards this book as one of the most vital books of our time, as well as an introduction by the author never before included in the book, and a new preface by James Gustafson, the premier Christian ethicist who is considered Niebuhr’s contemporary successor, poses the challenge of being true to Christ in a materialistic age to an entirely new generation of Christian readers.
The groundbreaking classic Christ and Culture still hits home the same way it did over fifty years ago, when author H. Richard Niebuhr first confronted the challenge of being true to Christ in a materialistic age. Informative and thought-provoking, Christ and Culture speaks to the battle for the American soul.
Niebuhr outlines five basic modes in which Christianity and culture can interact, and shows which parts of American culture and religion conform to each mode. From “Christ Against Culture” to “Christ and Culture in Paradox,” people react to Christianity differently, depending on their own faith, and the influence of the culture in which they live. With a foreword by the distinguished historian Martin E. Marty, an introduction by the author, and a preface by James Gustafson, Christ and Culture is a fascinating examination of modern Christianity as it continues to develop in an increasingly secularized world. H. Richard Niebuhr (1894 - 1962) was one of the most influential American Protestant theologians of the 20th century and a legendary professor at Yale. He was considered a leading authority on ethics and the American church, and was a passionate advocate for living out one’s Christian faith authentically in the context of real world of today. He influenced many of our leading contemporary ethical leaders such as Stephen Carter, Garry Wills, and Michael Novak. “A superb piece of analytical writing in tackling what is just about the toughest problem faced by Christians.” -New York Times Book ReviewYou may also like
