This is a timely and thoughtful book that charts the complex and multi-faceted relationship between the Bible and its cultural contexts and their implications for Christianity’s relationship to culture today. The author, a noted biblical scholar, who also has extensive mission experience, selects, several key biblical traditions and historical periods to illumine his topics, such as Israel’s relationship to Canaanite culture, Jesus in his own Jewish context, and Paul as both Jew and citizen of the Roman empire. The biblical peoples and traditions both stood over against culture and were immersed in it, often at the same time. Legrand’s study helps offset any tendencies to impose a single model of Christianity everywhere.
