    Three Books on Cultural Apologetics

    The CCO and Hearts & Minds Books are both committed to the idea that the Gospel isn’t simply an ideology or a system that can be unthinkingly implanted in any time and place. Just like Jesus is the incarnation of God, the Gospel must by incarnated in each particular culture. To do this, Christians must be students of the culture in which they find themselves—this is the call to cultural apologetics.
