You are to prepare a 7-10 page review of Ken Myers’ All God’s Children and Blue Suede Shoes. Evaluate Myers on the relation between Christian faith and popular culture. Assess Myers’ book in the light of contemporary theology and the various ways in which the church has interacted with contemporary culture. Write your paper as if addressing informed members of your church. How would you address their present concerns about popular music, the arts, television, and the media? You may assume they know little about contemporary theology, but they are aware of the ineffectiveness of the church at the end of the 20th century. Avoid the temptation to preach. Focus your attention, instead, on helping them to understand popular culture as enabled by Myers’ work.
