Deep Talks: Exploring Theology and Meaning Making
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
In lieu of deepening tensions among Christians caught up in the Culture War, I thought it would be appropriate this week to re-air episode 73 (from October 2020). This episode is entitled "Christ & the Culture War (don't leave republican jesus for democrat jesus).
-----
I'm an 80's/90's kid who grew up in the evangelical heyday of Christian subculture. "Christian" music, movies, tv, bookstores, and even our own brand of science was all part of a larger culture war movement. A lot of people my age eventually abandoned right-wing, Republican Evangelicalism but simply traded it for left-wing, progressive post-evangelicalism (if they didn't reject Christianity altogether) not realizing they were still combatants in a culture war even though they switched teams.
How does the Culture War lure people into a false sense of community?
Why is cultural influence so much easier to attain if we just play the culture war game?
How might serious reflections on historic Christology and philosophical theology on the nature of the Truth help us transcend the culture war?
What possible dangers should we brace for if we attempt to leave the constant cycle of culture war?
