What is culture anyway? Despite being a cultural commentary podcast, we’ve never quite teased out the seemingly-simple-yet-actually-complicated definition. So today, Patrick teams up with Christopher Watkin, author of Biblical Critical Theory, to define and make sense of “culture.” The two discuss what culture is (and what it isn’t) and what it looks like for Christians to engage with culture. Given that we’re all enculturated, what should we strive for: Should we be more monocultural? Or should our pursuit of Christlikeness place us outside of culture as a whole? How can everyday, average Christians read the Bible and think about culture? And how should we sort out disagreements? Should our interpretation of the Bible be more postmodern in an attempt to make sense of our culture? Listen now!
