An Interview with Greg Forster: How Christianity Lost Its Cultural Influence and Can Begin Rebuilding It

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Greg Forster, an articulate and fascinating thinker, to talk about his new book, Joy for the World: How Christianity Lost Its Cultural Influence and Can Begin Rebuilding It, in the Cultural Renewal series, edited by Tim Keller and Collin Hansen. (You can read Keller’s foreword here.)

00:10 – How did Christianity lose its cultural influence?

00:49 – What are the two ways that Christianity has related to culture in history?

11:21 – Why did you title the book Joy for the World? Why is joy central to our witness?

14:54 – What can pastors do to help their people joyfully influence culture?

You can read a sample from the book or find out more information about it.
