This book is a collection of essays to honor F. Leroy Forlines who had a long career as a college professor teaching Bible and theology classes at Welch College. In this volume several of his students describe his personal contributions to theological thinking and biblical interpretation as well as the personal impact of Forlines. He is best known for his articulation of Reformed Arminianism and taught generations of students that theology is for life. The work also includes personal tributes from family and close friends. Readers will come away with a greater appreciation for the legacy of a Christian life lived well.

Lots of Christians are asking questions about how to bear witness in the new cultural landscape regarding questions of sexuality, gender, and the definition of marriage: (1) What do Christians believe about sexuality, gender, and the definition of marriage, and why? How can we teach that to those under our spiritual care? (2) Should Christians actively engage public life and culture? If so, how? (3) What do I need to know about the legal, political, and religious liberty implications of the Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage to speak intelligently about them? (4) What are some first steps I can take to offer hope and healing to a friend or family member struggling with same-sex attraction? This book helps provide solid answers to those questions, for church leaders, small groups, Sunday schools, and students. This volume is useful for academic settings but is also ideal for ministers and laypeople who want to work through these issues in a local church setting such as a small group Bible study, a Sunday school series, or even a sermon series. The book provides a handy resource regarding sexuality, gender, and the definition of marriage for everyday Christians who have a deep interest in Christian cultural engagement. Our desire is to provide a step forward to help Christians respond to the cultural and legal changes we're facing.

What is culture that we are mindful of it? Christians in Culture seeks to answer this question by considering the Christian worldview and its application to the various spheres of life. We are committed not only to being hearers of the Word but also doers of the Word. We do not believe that we should forsake culture, nor that we should accept it uncritically. Rather, Jesus the Christ calls us to engage it under His all-encompassing lordship. God does not redeem us to remove us from the world. He commands that we engage it as the salt of the earth and the light of the world, as witnesses to the gospel of His kingdom.\nChrist calls us to place all areas of culture under His lordship and the authority of His Word. Whether you are interested in arts and entertainment, sports and recreation, technology and science, politics and economics, labor and vocation, or history and tradition, this book is relevant for you. It provides biblical and theological foundations for thinking Christianly about these areas and living Christianly within them. Christians in Culture. invites you to cultivate a Christian worldview for all of life―a worldview that is holistic, wise, and transformative.
