In January we are focusing on developing an overview of the doctrine of common grace. Next month we will turn to consider more specifically the so-called Cultural Mandate. If you’re doing the reading, here is where we are going so you can plan ahead:
Creation & The Cultural Mandate
Focus: The cultural mandate and the way Common Grace informs our understanding of society and human flourishing.
Primary Text: Creation Regained: A Biblical Basis for a Reformational Worldview by Albert Wolters. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2005.
Secondary Text: Reformed Dogmatics, Vol. 2: God and Creation by Herman Bavinck. Grand Rapids: Baker, 2008.
Reflection Questions: How does the cultural mandate inform our understanding of human flourishing? What relationship does the cultural mandate have to the arts, sciences, and every day work?
