Thinking Theologically
20 August 2024

Christianity; New Testaments; Christian theology; Christian ministry & pastoral activity

The modern church across the United States is in disarray, to put the situation mildly, plagued by church scandal and decline. Many churches respond by dealing with the symptoms of the problem. When there is a scandal, they change leadership. When they start losing young people, they create new programs. All the while never addressing the root of the issue-the church's culture. A church's culture is made up of everything said and done in a church and impacts everything a church does and believes, as well as the possibilities for the church's future. This book addresses issues of church culture by looking at the churches to which the Apostle Paul wrote letters in the New Testament and asking, ""What type of culture did Paul try to cultivate in this particular location."" By applying cultural principles from Scripture, the church can cultivate good, Spirit-powered church cultures that will propel it into the future.
