Bevans ch 9

The countercultural is an incredibly balanced approached to theology.  In many ways it is the theology that seems to be the approach many moderate churches would espouse to.  The church I attended in Brooklyn, New York (Christian Cultural Center), had for it’s mission statement, “To communicate Christ in Culture.”  This model of theology takes the cultural context into account and doesn’t disrespect it by simply dismissing it as evil.  Yet it understands that culture, (any culture, not just non-western culture but even western culture in particular), is expressed by fallen human beings in a fallen world.
