Book Review - Understanding the Culture

Understanding the Culture: A Survey of Social Engagement by Jeff Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I got an advanced copy from Netgallery in exchange for a review. Unfortunately I could not finish in time for the book to be released. This is a good thing. It was so deep, rather than skim through it I had to deep read it each chapter.
The book has the feel of a Classroom textbook. It is easy to read but the topics are very deep. There is a clear pattern to each chapter and once that pattern is noticed it does make the reading a little easier.
It is clear that once you get into it, this is a Christian world view book. The name does not give the hint that it would be. I wish I had a copy of it last semester when taking a Philosophy class, a lot of the questions that came up I had a hard time addressing. It would have been good to have this a reference to quote from.
It is the third in a series and I would love to some time invest in the other two. For now, I will have to add them to my want to read list.
Summing it up, it is a great book, but it may not be for everyone.
