CULTURE MAKING PB

A rallying cry for culturally creative Christians to engage contemporary society with their gifts and faith.

It is not enough to condemn culture. Nor is it sufficient merely to critique culture, copy culture, or consume culture. The only way to change the culture is to create a new one.

Winner of the 2009 Christianity Today Book Award, Andy Crouch's 'Culture Making' unleashes a clarion call for Christians to take the initiative and create culture. Culture is what we make out of the world we have around us. From it we create cultural artifacts and employ them to make sense of our world and to help others understand us in the world. By making chairs and omelets, languages, and laws, we participate in God's own making and transforming of culture.

'Culture Making' is a rare gem, and it is a rallying cry for Christian culture makers of all types. Here you will find wisdom for going about creating culture: how to do it thoughtfully, considerately, and christianly. Join the culture making movement, from consuming to creating. Discover where you fit in God's world.
