REVIEWSMark Dever
-- Pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington D.C.
"Don Carson here writes clearly, carefully, and helpfully about the
timely topic of how Christians should engage culture. Well-suited
to write such a volume, Carson exposes and explodes 'egregious
reductionisms' which he says too often afflict Christians. We can't
reduce the relationship of Christ and culture to one model
(Niebuhrian or otherwise). Reading this book has sharpened my own
understanding. So buy the book you're holding. Read it. Pass it
along to folks in your congregation. And reduce 'egregious
reductionisms'!"" Tim Keller
-- Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City
"There is no more crucial issue facing us today than the
relationship of the church and the gospel to contemporary culture.
Don Carson's treatment of this issue is the most balanced one out
there. Rather than grinding an ax or pushing his own paradigm, he
listens carefully to the Scripture and brings us in the end to a
sophisticated simplicity about these matters. I highly recommend
this book."" Christianity Today
"Make room on the shelf for this penetrating book by Carson. . .
Carson engages with a stunning range of writers and texts. (Five
Stars). " Equip to Disciple
"A valuable resource to help us think and live more consistently
with God's will." Worship
"This work is a cogently argued exploration of an evangelical
Christian approach to the relationship of church and U.S. society.
. . . A valuable contribution to the national discussion in the
United States of 'public theology'." First Things
"A fine overview and criticism of contemporary Protestant efforts
to get the Christ-culture connection right."
