Title: Border Crossings
First published: October 1, 2000
Description: The usual modern assumption is that Christians are supposed to leave explicitly Christian convictions and practices behind when they engage public affairs and popular culture. In this fascinating book, Rodney Clapp rejects that assumption and (with lively Christian convictions intact) trespasses onto secular territory -- from global corporations to Winnie-the-Pooh, from family values to "The X-Files," from consumerism to Hank Williams and John Coltrane. He shows, with panache, humor, and unstinting insight, that "Christians can inhabit the whole world -- public and private, body and soul -- exactly as Christians." - Back cover.
