Summary

See how the gospel compels followers of Christ to counter culture on a wide variety of social issues in the world around them.

Description

Counter Culture - Bible Study Book with Video Access includes printed content for six sessions with small group discussion guides, applicable Scripture, individual study, and practical application. Also, each Book contains unique codes that enable you to access free teaching videos for each session.

The Bible is clear on a number of issues:

Who God is--the holy, just, and gracious Creator of the universe
Who we are--men and women created in the image of God for our good and for God's glory
Who Christ is and what He has done--His life, death, and resurrection
What it means to follow Christ--to die to ourselves and to live in Him
Why this matters for eternity--heaven and hell are at stake in our response to the gospel

So how do these truths affect how we respond to the social issues of our day--realities such as poverty, slavery, abortion, sexual immorality, the degradation of marriage, the neglect of orphans and widows, racism, and persecution?

David Platt believes that the truths of the gospel should compel us to a contrite, compassionate, and courageous personal response to social issues in the culture. Using biblical foundations, practical illustrations, and personal exhortations, this study is a pointed yet winsome call for readers to faithfully follow Christ in countercultural ways. There will be a cost. There will be a reward. Do Christians in the contemporary church have the courage to counter the culture?
