THEO 340 - Culture and the Christian

3 hours
The impact of popular culture on the worldview and value system of western society in general, and for Christians in particular, is examined. Attention will be given to the philosophical and theological underpinnings of popular culture and the ways these underpinnings affect shifts in thought across time. Focus will then shift to the methods culture uses to affect individual lifestyle choices. Connections will then be made to align faith commitments with moral choices. Special attention will be given to relevant biblical texts that offer direction for contemporary Christian lifestyles. UG
