It's the Culture, Stupid: The Challenge of Cultural Renewal

From the Archived "Cardus Audio" Series

John Seel suggests that the ways Christians have gone about trying to change this culture haven’t been all that effective—and are becoming increasingly futile. Instead, John proposes a better way of asserting Christian influence—strong networks, intellectual power, and access to the institutions that shape culture.

Today we present one of the driving forces behind this year’s hit movie Amazing Grace, Dr. John Seel. He’s a writer and consultant to Walden Media, producers of Amazing Grace and other great movies such as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Bridge to Terabithia and Charlotte’s Web.

John works as a cultural change agent and a moral entrepreneur, connecting great ideas with great business. He’s a Contributing Editor to Critique Magazine, and has also written for our Work Research Foundation journal, Comment Magazine.

John’s presentation is right up our alley here at Cardus. He’ll suggest that the ways Christians have gone about trying to change this culture haven’t been all that effective—and are becoming increasingly futile. Instead, John proposes a better way of asserting Christian influence—strong networks, intellectual power, and access to the institutions that shape culture.
