Christianity And Culture by J. Gresham Machen

A collection of essays arguing that authentic Christian faith is neither identical with nor subordinate to contemporary culture, insisting that Christianity must critique and inform cultural life without being swallowed by popular intellectual fashions; the author defends orthodox doctrine against theological liberalism and secular reduction, urges Christians to engage in rigorous scholarship, art, and public life while maintaining the church’s distinctiveness, and calls for faithful witness that transforms society through truth rather than through cultural accommodation.
