About the Book

Culture is a hot topic today. But of what exactly does culture consist? What is it? Author Richard Knodel not only defines the idea more clearly than ever before but also defends the notion that God himself established this concept in the Creation! Using Knodel’s expert guidance, culturologists now have an amazing new resource for understanding their subject and building upon it. He begins with his definition and then argues the sense of it. Succeeding chapters analyze past Christian cultural failures, show how Christ is a key to world development and survey competing definitions – even that of Islam!

Customer Reviews

"The following are excerpts from famous people who have seen LIFESTYLE. They are not unqualified endorsements of the book, but all observe some virtue in it. (THESE MAY BE SEEN ON THE SLIP COVER OF THE HARD BOUND COPY OF LIFESTYLE.)

HIGH PRAISE FOR LIFESTYLE:

?Fantastic, insightful work!? The Rev. Dr. Jeffrey K. Boer, Th.D., Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

?Using the template of the creation account in Genesis, Dr. Knodel uses the unity within the dichotomy of God?s creation ? 6 days/7th day ? to demonstrate a divine mandate for seeing unity in the often hostile dichotomy of the church and culture. This trenchant and highly readable book is both provocative and encouraging as one sees the decline of both church and culture at the beginning of the 21st Century.? The Rev. Dr. Carl W. Bogue, Th.D., Free University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, author of Jonathan Edwards & The Covenant of Grace, etc.

?I am delighted that you are looking at the content of Genesis 1 and 2 in order to find a foundation for a unified theory of culture. I have for many years been concerned that the church has failed to see the significance of the distinctive features of the first six days and the seventh day. Thank you so much for including me in those who have the opportunity to look at your work. I?m very impressed by it?? Dr. R. C. Sproul, Free University of Amsterdam and Whitefield Seminary; Popular author and Founder/ Scholar of Ligonier Ministries, Lake Mary, Florida.

?Your dissertation should certainly be published. Knodel?s footnotes are even better than his text! Even his addenda on Christianity?s superior culturology to Islam ? makes his work well worth the price of the whole book. Heartily recommended!? The Rev. Dr. (Emeritus) Francis Nigel Lee, Queensland Presbyterian Theological College, Brisbane, Australia
