Publisher's Description

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

In this book Dyrness explores the relationship between the biblical gospel and American culture. He shows how three dominant American cultural values — pragmatism, optimism, and individualism — have both a positive and negative impact on our Christian discipleship, looks at Walter Rauschenbusch and Robert Schuller as case studies, and sets out a distinctively American way of appropriating the gospel.

Editorial Reviews

Richard Mouw
—Fuller Theological Seminary
"This is a profound study of how the gospel relates to the North American context. Dyrness combines cross-cultural sensitivities with theological astuteness and a solid grasp of American experiences and traditions. His brief analysis of Robert Schuller's 'contextualized message' is simply brilliant! I recommend this book with much enthusiasm."

Gabriel Fackre
—Andover Newton Theological School
"As an astute observer of American culture and an able theologian, Dyrness brings the biblical text to bear on the modern context. A learned work with evangelical power."

—Lesslie Newbigin
"An illuminating survey of the interaction between the gospel and American society through the centuries and an assessment of their present relations."
