Cultural Hermeneutics

How do Christians go about understanding their cultural context in twenty-first century Britain?What is the relationship between faith and the culture in which it is lived?Considering the most formative influences for people of faith in our culture, and the forces at play in competing for their attention, Cultural Hermeneutics equips those in ministry, and those in formation for roles within the church, to better ‘read’ the times in which they serve.

"Cultural Hermeneutics is a tract for the times about how to read the signs of the times, and to do so theologically. To make disciples of all cultures, we must first understand it. After surveying other disciplinary approaches, Standing offers his own theological proposal for interpreting culture 'in the Spirit,' a prophetic activity of Christian discernment for the sake of faithful presence."
