Christianity and Culture in the City: A Postcolonial Approach offers an introduction to the broad diversity of contemporary Christianities in a rich; complex; changing; and challenging city context. Cruz focuses upon a variety of changing communities with dynamic and striking cultural experiences; and the volume provides both scholarly and practical insights as to how Christianities in the city relate to and transform city institutions and communities that are undergoing dramatic shifts and invite opportunities for intentional study.This book offers a provocative interdisciplinary examination to shed light upon the ways in which diverse city communities appropriate Christianity to better engage their economic; cultural; political; and religious environment. A post-colonial theoretical framework will help inform how Christianity serves to empower and reinvent fragmented; oppressed; and struggling city populations. The reader is offered various conceptual; theoretical; and pragmatic insights and knowledge for better interpreting; affirming; and engaging diverse Christianities in the city in a postcolonial era.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Read!By Reggie DottererRefreshing and rare as the author is willing to take the risk and interpret in modern day terms ancient scripture and revelation; treading where so many biblical experts dare not. Using literal interpretations the author makes complex scripture real. He easily defines what exactly cryptic scripture and revelations mean in our modern world; how these things relate to what is to come. while stressing the importance to prepare. A must read; entertaining and interesting!
