A Basic Theology of the Relationship between Gospel and Culture

Initially adapted but modified significantly from The Gospel in Human Contexts, pages 31-32:

1. The gospel, as revealed truth, is distinct and separate from all human cultures.
2. Culture is simultaneously a reflection of divine creativity and human rebellion.
3. Gospel and culture are interrelated realities: it is impossible to express the gospel apart from culture.
4. The gospel transforms people, and transformed people transform societies.

I reserve the right to modify this in the future.
