Thinking through Christianity engaging society

Nida's book is written out of his wealth of experience as a Christian in the anthropological field. It is slightly dated in places (re. anthropological theory) - or at least the older version I read was - but provides a very helpful working through of sociological theory in a way that allows the Christian to recognise how he, she or the Church can meaningfully and intelligently engage cultures with Christianity.
