Cultural Encounters is a timely and important new journal because it seeks to understand culture in light of the revelation of the triune God acting within history to reconcile and redeem all aspects of human history, including culture. What makes this a journal that academic theologians will want to read and contribute to is the fact that it aims to reflect on the relation of Christianity and culture in an academically rigorous manner. I look forward to the emergence and development of Cultural Encounters under the leadership of Paul Louis Metzger.
