Chang Benjamin - Christ And The Culture Wars Speaking For Jesus In A World Of Identity Politics - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A call to engage with the identity politics of our world and reframe the way we spread the Christian gospel. In our modern world the gospel of Jesus is seen by many less as good news for all humanity and more as the bigoted edicts of a bygone era. Benjamin Chang explores the stories of the revolution tracing the trajectories of four of the biggest social justice movements feminism racial justice gay pride and the trans movement before looking at the ways Christians usually engage with these arenas of cultural conflict (mirror argue ignore) and identifying a better way forward. Rather than hunkering down in our own identity tribes arguing against other groups or ignoring what is going on in the culture around us Chang encourages Christians to find ways to speak for Jesus. He urges us to look at the way we tell stories and consider whether we can re capture hearts in our culture by telling a more powerful counter narrative. He gives us language to use to speak about the cross in our world of identity politics. We will see that the gospel resonates with a culture when it speaks the language of the culture.
