| description | This article examined how understanding of culture and gospel engagement can lead to the transformation of culture in a process called cultural discipleship which in turn, can lead to the preservation of the Christian faith. The research was predominantly literature-based research which gathered data from books, and articles. The literature revealed that the Christian faith and culture have always transformed each other and hence culture can be transformed (discipled) to respond appropriately to the gospel and this will serve as a means of preserving the Christian faith. The paper contributes to the public theological discourse on how the gospel relates to culture. It also enlightens Christians on how to practically engage culture with the gospel instead of seeing culture as evil. |
