The Nexus: Understanding Faith and Modern Culture - Paperback
About this item
by Jon H. Widener M. D. (Author)
"The Nexus," so-named because of the operational intersection or "Nexus" of faith and culture, is an alphabetized manual of cultural artifacts of significance to Christians.
In "The Nexus," Jon Widener observes how Christianity has lost many battles over the years and how the evangelical community has been fraught with endemic anti-intellectualism. He sees an evangelical insularity taking the form of retreat and retrenchment from the comings and goings of the larger society.
Dr. Widener proposes that modern Christian believers correct these deficits by exercising the exhortation of I Pet 3:15 (KJV) to always be prepared "to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you." Believers should educate themselves on culturally relevant issues where there are questions of Christian morality. This is the burden and purpose of the book. Accordingly, the standard for inclusion is straight-forward. If the topic is culturally encountered and has moral implications, then it meets the threshold standard for inclusion in the work.
