Christ and Culture

H. Richard Niebuhr

Abstract

Except for the third option, which seems clearly to be hypocritical, there are times when each of the others is appropriate. With pornography, substance abuse, and other sinful behavior, we should choose Christ against culture. With appropriate technology, we should choose Christ of culture. With popular but not sinful media, we should choose Christ and culture in paradox. And at all times we should embrace Christ transforming culture.
