Culture

Many of us are aware of Henry Van Til's classic formulation in The Calvinistic Concept of Culture.
that culture is religion externalized. It turns out he was not the first to make such a suggestion, though he was the first that I know of to explore it from a purely Reformed and theological perspective. In 1930, the Agrarians made this statement concerning culture.

the whole way in which we live, act, think, and feel. It is a kind of imaginatively balanced life lived out in a definite social tradition.

They were defining humanism as a culture, something we have still not really caught on to as clearly as we ought to.
I am constantly amazed at how right they were about so much.
