Publisher's Synopsis
At the heart of a culture are its "roots paradigms", the unconscious assumptions which underlie the way people think. This collection of essays examines the "Gospel-friendliness" of our assumptions about history, science, arts, epistemology, economics, education, the media and health and healing. This collection of essays, each written by a specialist, aims to draw out the differences between the Gospel and contemporary culture - two world views - and challenges us to present the Gospel to those around us with a deeper understanding of both views.;It is aimed at all concerned with the position of the churches in society today.;The contributors are: Hugh Montefiore, Colin Gunton, Mary Midgley, Eric Ives, Jeremy Begbie, Brenda Watson, Jane Collier, Jim McDonnell and John Young.
