Culture Blind Evangelicals and the Good News of the Kingdom of God examines how Western culture obscures the dynamic experiential nature of the gospel in evangelicalism. The virtual absence of the kingdom of God theme in evangelical circles, and silence on the ongoing charismatic ministry of the Holy Spirit today are evidence of the powerful impact of a rationalistic western culture. Expositions of Matthew's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles focus on Jesus' and the apostles' emphasis on "the good news of the kingdom of God," and on the impact of Jewish culture on First Century Christians. Those lessons on culture not only help the reader understand, in layman's terms, the impact of western culture on their own Christian experience, but the lessons also provide a major key for understanding the New Testament documents. The book challenges evangelicals to open their eyes to the good news of the kingdom of God "as it was," "as it is," and "how it will be" in the 21st Century.
