Our world revolves around ideas. Politicians, military leaders, CEOs, media mo- guls, and academics may think they are in charge of world affairs, but what they think—the ideas in their heads—actually control them. Ideas are the guiding force behind every twist and turn in public opinion. They determine what we accept or reject in the arts, media, business, science, education, politics, family, church, and the list goes on endlessly.
The Bible has been the most influential book in the history of the world, printed, in part or in whole, in 2,800 languages worldwide. Christians believe the Bible is God’s Word. Through it, the creator of the universe speaks to humankind in a way he does nowhere else. If the Bible’s claim to reveal God is authoritative, then it extends to every area of life—to everyone in the world, at all times. If the Bible’s revelation about God is accurate, then what it says is authoritative.
Culture happens when humans interact with the natural world. Everyone participates in culture, and some people even help create or change it. Understanding the Culture is a guidebook for learning what culture is and how Christians can work to influence it for the better.
