“Each generation of the church in each setting has the responsibility of communicating the gospel . . . [by] considering the language and thought-forms of that setting.” (Francis Schaeffer)
God’s word never changes but the setting in which we learn and the situation which we are called to apply it to are constantly changing. How should Christians apply Biblical principles when communicating truth to today’s culture. How have past Christian thinkers answered this question?
The scriptures repeatedly call Christians to spread God’s truth to the wider culture. No matter your age, occupation, or comfort level your calling as a follower of Christ is to: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16. Yet Christians have not always agreed on exactly how this should be done. How can Christians engage in evangelism, and debate, in a winsome and God honoring manner?
Our faculty members are excited to help students explore these questions and apply scriptural principles in their everyday lives, so that they may impact our culture for God. Every culture, whether the culture acknowledges it or not, has an understanding of God. Returning to the words of Francis Schaeffer, Christian thinker and apologist:
“Regardless of a man’s system, he has to live in God’s world.”
