[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1.

lilrabbi has left a new comment on your post "Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1":

No, you're not getting at all. I understand the culture we all are a part of because we are all a part of it. It isn't good. Of course I'm a part of it. How can I not be? That is the nature of culture. Trust me, I wish it wasn't part of me, but that wasn't my choice.

That is one of the problems with the way you are talking about culture, as if it were something that is "take it or leave it."

I can point you to the books I'm reading where I'm getting this. Would that suffice?

I have not yet written anything very well. Do you want me to try?

Remember, I am still waiting for you to give a definition of culture, or at least tell me of a book where I can find it. And I asked first :-) First comment on your blog....

You should read Bauder and Dissidens. You should read Eliot and Lewis. You should read Tolkien's essays and see what Barfield had to say. They are all worth reading. Much more so than anything that the emerging church has to tell us.
