The Facts on the Ground

The book explores the complex role of Christian engagement in modern culture, addressing recent societal challenges through a biblical theology of cultural wisdom. William Dyrness examines wisdom from both the Old and New Testaments, emphasizing its relevance to human responsibility and God's intentions for creation, particularly as demonstrated in Christ's life and teachings. He argues that this Christ-centered wisdom not only offers new cultural possibilities but also reinterprets concepts of common grace and revelation throughout history, from the Early Church to the Reformation.
