Description
Throughout history, Christians have faced a series of dilemmas over their relationship to culture and power. Jesus urges believers to be "not of the world", but what does this actually mean? How should Christians relate to the imperfect world around them, and how should they engage with a dominant non-Christian culture? How should they respond to the power and authority of the state, and what happens when Christians find themselves in positions of political power? Christians have responded to these questions in remarkably different ways. Examine these challenges historically in a series of case studies from the early church to the modern age.
