Read Camus

The Apostle Paul appears before Mars Hill in Acts 17. He speaks to this venerable intellectual institution and presents to them the story of Christ. Paul preached the usual content, but presented it in a unique way! Paul quotes from Greek philosophy and uses the local cultural awareness of spirituality -to point towards Christ.

Paul's message in Acts 17 speaks to our modern culture today.  Instead of running from culture or fully embracing it; Christians are called to engage culture -just as Paul did 2000 years ago.

I came across a posting called 'Why Christians Should Read Camus' and thoroughly enjoyed it. Click on this link to read the article. Camus had a profound affect on my intellectual, philosophical and spiritual life. The author, Wheaton College professor, Leland Ryken, expertly engages the reader and clearly articulates Camus' world and life view. Read it and add your comments below!
