Introduction

Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg addresses issues surrounding cultural accommodation and dating from a Christian perspective. Drawing on biblical teachings, Gregg emphasizes the importance of considering the costs of engaging with a culture that opposes Christian values. He argues that Christians need to maintain their prophetic credibility by not attempting to imitate the values of secular society, and instead emphasize the root of Christianity in Jesus Christ. Gregg challenges Christians to critically evaluate their assumptions about culture and engage with the world on the basis of their faith.
