Culture & Society 

Christians always exist within particular cultural contexts—political systems, geographic locations, and ethnic and racial communities. How should Christians engage with the surrounding culture, and what is the church's role in society? What does Christian political engagement look like? How do believers practice their faith around the world, and how can we all process our racial and ethnic identities? The books here will help you wrestle with these complex questions and more, especially within the realm of evangelicalism.

For even more, read articles from IVP authors on cultural engagement and race and ethnicity. You can also hear about all of IVP's newest resources by signing up for our email list.
