What Does It Mean Even to Be a Moslem Outside of That Structure?

I think i've sometimes put it like this, that the situation in the west is a theological exception. We've had 15, 16 hundred years where christianity and the culture have tracked pretty closely. So what has been theologically normative is historically exceptional. I would say there's very little in the new testament that would have led us to expected that the modelof christianity in the new Testament is more its ammost antithetical one to the broader culture. And some of us in the west, hav become accustomed to thinking ourselves as being far more at home than we ever really were.
