Great book, but for the serious worldview student only!

I would think that T.M. Moore and I probably agree on quite a lot - I found myself loving the examples that Moore uses to make his case for cultural transformation - from Augustine to Calvin to Kuyper, Moore makes his case using almost all of my personal favorites and heroes of the faith. Moore uses the outline and arguments from Augustine's City of God to provide the framework for the book. He inserts various historical and contemporary examples to make his case, which makes his book not only relevant, but educational as well.

This book should come with one disclaimer - it is for the culturally engaged and serious worldview student. Culture Matters is not an easy read and would not be a good place to begin one's quest on learning how to think critically and Christianly about the world - much work should be done prior to picking up this book. I would suggest that Colson's How Now Shall We Live, Pearcey's Total Truth, and Kuyper's Lectures on Calvinism would be a prerequisite to read before picking up Culture Matters, and maybe even Augustine's City of God.

Culture Matters

It is a brilliant book. I highly recommend it, especially to artists and anyone wanting to impact a city for God.

Many of Jesus's contemporaries hated him because he pointedly critiqued their culture. Culture matters. But to be effective in engaging culture, Christians today must know their message. Christians are called to reform culture by engaging society head-on. With meaty content, real-life examples, and probing study questions, Culture Matters shows how godly incarnations of the arts and intellect ultimately right a topsy-turvy world. T. M. Moore offers readers a superb analysis of the methods for engaging culture effectively.
