I am so grateful for the Verdoorn Family Foundations generosity toward this project. Their vision and ongoing encouragement were extraordinary. Summits founder, Dr. David Noebel, has been such an encouragement, and I dedicate this volume to David and his wonderful wife, Alice, and their family.
Our Summit team is amazing. Jason Graham and Tosha Payne pored over each chapter and gave helpful feedback. Amanda Bridger and David Knopp helped keep the project organized. Karl Schaller kept things moving along on the publishing and marketing side. Jeff Wood, Eric Smith, and Aaron Atwood took on significant extra work to hold down the fort while I wrote and edited. Joey Amadee spent hundreds of hours preparing a digital delivery system to significantly expand the books reach and impact. Every person on the Summit team has helped by reading chapters, giving feedback, providing encouragement, and praying. Understanding the Culture is a true example of teamwork in action.
As I wrote on cultural issues, the following peoples research and input were invaluable: Kevin Bywater, John Stonestreet, Dr. Paul Boling, Dr. Glenn Sunshine, Paige Gutacker, Jay Watts, Sean McDowell, Robert Gagnon, Eric Teetsel, Darrow L. Miller, Dr. Rouven Steeves, and Marc Levin, Esq.
A whos who of subject matter experts checked various chapters for accuracy and logic. These experts included Dr. Stephen J. Grabill, Dr. Glenn Sunshine, Dr. Chris Leland, Dr. Kathy Koch, John Stonestreet, Scott Klusendorf, Dr. Sean McDowell, Atty. Jeffrey Ventrella, Dr. Ryan Anderson, Dr. Mike Adams, and Rob Schwarzwalder.
My editorsRobert Hand, John Stonestreet, and Dr. David Haredid a wonderful job making the text more readable and engaging with the content in an immensely helpful way.
Im grateful to the entire team for the tireless effort to help me craft the best edition of Understanding the Culture . Nevertheless, wherever this volume may be found deficient, that responsibility lies solely with me.

Noted Christian writer and teacher Del Tackett has said that the Summit Worldview Library needs to be the core in every high school, college, and seminary today. Colson Center president John Stonestreet has said that this series should have a place in every Christians home library. Why is this series so important for Christian students and adults in all walks of life to use often in todays complex world? Perhaps seeing how the trilogy came together will help explain:
- Understanding the Faith: A Survey of Christian Apologetics the first book in the series enables Christians to better understand theology and apologetics. Understanding the Faith is a fast-track, fast-paced theological education for those who want to understand God and his world in a profound way and share their faith intelligently with unbelievers. Theology and apologetics arent just academic exercises for pastors and church leaders; we are all ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor. 5:20) charged with giving reason[s] for the hope we have in him (1 Pet. 3:15). Pressing questions about life and faith deserve thoughtful answers.
- Understanding the Times: A Survey of Competing Worldviews the second book in the series gives Christians insight into the battle other worldviews are waging against Christ and inspires newfound confidence in the breadth and depth of a biblical Christian worldview. By providing trusted, documented insight into the six major worldviews that drive the global events of our day, Understanding the Times helps Christians [understand] the times in which they live so they can know what to do in response to the critical issues theyre facing today (1 Chron. 12:32).
- Understanding the Culture: A Survey of Social Engagement the third book in the series shows Christians how to transform culture. With a firm foundation in biblical theology, apologetics, and worldview, Christians have something vital to say about every significant issue of our day. The depth and creativity of Christian thought on todays events should inspire tremendous confidence in communicating biblical truth to friends, loved ones, and associates. In John 8:32, Jesus said we can know the truth, and the truth will set [us] free. Entire nations are in bondage to bad ideas, but believers can proclaim the truthboldly, intelligently, and practicallythat can set people free.
As a result, the Summit Worldview Library is eminently useful for students, teachers, pastors, businesspeople, public leaders, and others who want their faith to make an impact on twenty-first-century society.
Job 12:7 says, Ask the beasts, and they will teach you. As odd as it seems, I once learned an important life lesson from chickens. Several years ago my wife and I purchased a home in the country. Naturally, we decided to get chickens. We didnt expect them to arrive in the mail, but they didvia a package about the size of a frozen dinner.
Housed in a box in our laundry room, the chicks provided endless hours of entertainment for our children. One day while fixing lunch, I heard an unbelievable racket emanating from the laundry room. Rushing in, I found my two-year-old daughter dropping raisins into the box. One chick discovered a raisin, grabbed it in his beak, and bolted. The others gave chase. Another stole the raisin and lit out, his fellows in hot pursuit.
