Produktinformationen zu „The Nexus (ePub)“
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.

Autoren-Porträt von Jon H. Widener M.D.
Jon H. Widener, M.D. is a retired orthopedic surgeon, evangelical and long-time Southern Baptist Sunday School teacher with a special interest in the relationship between the individual’s cultural literacy and his or her ability to understand and hold forth for the Christian Gospel of Good News. Widener concedes that there is an unfortunate bent of anti-intellectualism in evangelical circles. Historian and evangelical Mark Noll has written about the “scandal of the evangelical mind” while Os Guinness, also an evangelical, has said bluntly, “Most evangelicals simply don’t think, and Harry Blamires, a student of CS Lewis, says that there is no such thing as “a Christian mind.”
The author too has observed these trends over the years and in “The Nexus”, he proposes a comprehensive plan to deal with it .
Jon Widener submits this manual of alphabetized religiously relevant cultural artifacts in the hopes that in some small way, it might augment the evangelical’s cultural literacy and thereby strengthen his or her understanding at the Nexus of Faith and Culture.
