A Toolkit of Studies about Christians and Culture
01-May-07 |
TOOLKIT Mk3 parts 1-6.pdf | 291.3 kB
Contemporary culture throws up perplexing questions. National issues like participation in war, about workplace changes, gender and sexuality issues, create anxiety.
Where can we find in our Christian lives, the resources and incentives to enter the public debate over these issues? Can the Bible help us understand the issues and formulate a response? We believe it can.
The Toolkit of Studies has been designed by the Newbigin Group, a group of Melbourne evangelical Christians with an interest in public issues. They have expertise in education, disability, development, health and science and their life and work continue to be illuminated and challenged by gospel questions.
The toolkit is not aiming to make it any easier to decide on the right Christian opinion on particular issues.
- Using Biblical material, it will trace the wider dimensions of the gospel story.
- It will suggest ways of applying a gospel framework to our public lives.
The kit is designed for groups, trusting that gatherings of Christians meeting together to seek more faithful lives, provide the right setting to wrestle with work and life-place questions. This kit is therefore suitable for home groups or for small groups at church camps. |
