Description :
God calls Christians to participate in his redemptive mission in every sphere of life.
Amy Sherman offers a multifaceted biblically grounded framework for enacting God's call to seek the shalom of our communities in six arenas of civilizational life (The Good, The True, The Beautiful, The Just, The Prosperous, and The Sustainable). Because we believe in what is good and true, we strengthen social ethics and contribute to human knowledge and learning. Because we value beauty, we invest in creative arts. Because we are committed to a just society, we work toward restorative justice and a well-ordered civic life. And our desire to see society prosper sustainably means that our business practices seek the economic good of the community while protecting the physical health of our environment.
This comprehensive volume showcases historical and contemporary models of transformational cultural engagement. Discover how being God's agents of flourishing can change our communities for the better and offer a winsome witness to a watching world.
