RLGN 210 Quiz- The Models of Engagement_ (Quiz Score: 50 out of 50). According to Keller, what are the four basic ways or models by which Christians relate to culture? The Trinitarian, the Anachron... istic, the Anabaptist, and the Ecclesiocentric The Transformationist, the Relevance, the Counterculturalist, and the Two Kingdoms The Four Kingdoms, the Seeker Sensitive, the Augustinian, and the Revolutionist The Capitalist, the Communalist, the Individualist, and the Ecclesiastic Transformationism has been accused of failing to recognize the dangers of Christians becoming too absorbed in seeking and exercising power. True False The transformationist view tends to diminish the importance of "secular" professions, emphasizing instead the "kingdom" vocations of church offices or missionary work. True False Question 1 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 2 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 3 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 4 2.5 / 2.5 ptsSin has ruined and defaced the moral capacities of man, but has left untouched the rational faculties, and as such the sacrifice of Christ is necessary not so that we can know the truth, but so that we can live the truth that we all intuitively know. True False According to Keller's descriptions, a civilization like that of the West today, in which the church is becoming increasingly marginalized by a post-Christian culture would be in its "Autumn" season. True False It is appropriate to compare the strengths of your favorite model with the weaknesses of the other models. True False Which model runs the risk of downplaying the need for theological reflection and Christian doctrine, as well as tends to seem dated as cultural trends shift? The Anachronistic The Relevance Question 5 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 6 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 7 2.5 / 2.5 ptsThe Ecclesiastic Counterculturalist To combine insights from all models enables Christians to be both humble and appreciative of nonbelieving colleagues, and yet not satisfied with doing work according to the reigning standards and philosophies of the world. True False The basic idea of the Two Kingdoms model centers on… The dignity of secular vocation and the importance of doing this work in a way marked by excellence that all can see, but that is not necessarily Christian in character. The calling of the church to be a contrast community and sign of the future kingdom. Thinking and Living in all areas of life and culture in a distinctly Christian way. The importance of a church that exists for others, doing sacrificial service for the common good. The main theme of the counterculturalists is… Question 8 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 9 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 10 2.5 / 2.5 ptsPolitical power as the means of transforming society into a more just place. Calling the church to be a contrast community and sign of the future kingdom, in order to have any real witness to the world. Thinking and living in all areas of life and culture in a distinctly Christian way. The importance of a church that exists for others, doing sacrificial service for the common good. Which of the following is one of the two "fundamental questions" that each model of cultural engagement is attempting to answer? What is our attitude towards culture? In other words, should we be pessimistic or optimistic about the possibility for cultural change? What does the church have to say about politics? In other words, should the church and the state be one entity or two? Is the Bible inspired and infallible? In other words, are the Scriptures reliable for us to use while engaging with culture? Is salvation by grace or by works? In other words, do I earn God's love by my good deeds, or do I accept that God has loved me in Christ, and perform good deeds out of thankfulness? How does Keller describe his "Seek the Center" map? The center of the diagram, near the meeting of the axes, represents a place where there is a greater reliance on the whole fabric of biblical themes. The farther you are from the center, the more you hold a particular model's theme reductionistically, with little regard for the insights of others, and therefore stand in great danger of failing to honor all of the biblical themes at the same time. The purpose of the diagram is marked by an effort to hold together the realities of creation and fall, natural and special revelation, curse and Question 11 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 12 2.5 / 2.5 ptscommon grace, the "already but not yet," continuity and discontinuity, sin and grace—the closer you are to the center of the grid, the more you hold your theme in balance with the other themes. All of the above None of the above What is the "Church Institutional?" All Christians living in the world who have been discipled and equipped to bring the gospel to bear on all of life. The Roman Catholic Church only. A loose conglomeration of the mainline Protestant denominations. The gathered church, organized under its officers and ministers, called to administer the "Word and sacrament." The main positive focus of the Transformationist model is… On the transforming power of living a monastic life, withdrawn from all culture. On the acquisition of political power as the means of transforming society into a more just place. On thinking and living in all areas of life and culture in a distinctly Christian way. On recognizing that it is impossible to pursue most vocations in a distinctly Christian way. Question 13 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 14 / 2.5 ptsWhich model engages culture largely through an emphasis on Christians pursuing their vocations from a uniquely Christian worldview, bringing the lordship of Christ to bear on every area of life, from economics and business, government and politics, literature and art, journalism and the media, science and law and education? The Transformationist The Augustinian The Capitalist The Anabaptist Liberation theology is considered to be a subgroup of the Transformatinoist model. True False Christ's saving and ruling power comes to us in two great stages: the first at the Incarnation, and the second at the Transfiguration. True False Question 18 Question 15 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 16 2.5 / 2.5 pts Question 17 2.5 / 2.5 pts2.5 / 2.5 pts While the doctrine of creation shows us the goodness of work, even in socalled secular callings, and gives us a vision for culture building, the doctrine of the fall warns us against utopianism and triumphalism. True False Kuyperian theology is most closely associated with the Transformationist model. True False The Church organic refers to all Christians living in the world who have been discipled and equipped to bring the gospel to bear on all of life.
