Excellent Introduction to Think Christianly About Culture

Applying theology to popular culture has long been a neglected area for evangelical Christians. Thankfully, it is an area that is receiving more attention in recent years. I am especially thankful for T.M. Moore's recent book, Redeeming Popular Culture. This is a very accessible, well-written book that helps the reader think about our daily interaction with, as the author describes it, the "kudzu" of popular culture (meaning it is everywhere, and spreads like it is out of control). Moore's work is biblical, insightful and challenging and will force the reader to evaluate their views on culture.Redeeming Pop Culture, is not an attack, but an evaluation and a work of theology. It is not an alarmist work, but instead gives the reader tools to help discern, and a vision to help impact the culture we live in. Here is a sample, "...we cannot pursue a kingdom approach to popular culture without at the same time seeking the Lord more earnestly. We are not interested in learning about popular culture for its own sake; rather, our objective is to discover the beauty, goodness, and truth of the Lord, to improve our own tastes, to be pleased with what pleases Him, and to prepare ourselves as His ambassadors to serve the interests of His Kingdom." (pp. 149).I highly recommend Redeeming Pop Culture for anyone who wants to think more biblically about the culture in which we live and breathe and how to impact it for Christ. For those interested in going more in depth on this, I recommend All God's Children and Blue Suede Shoes by Kenneth A. Myers, a work that Moore quotes frequently and builds upon.
