By the end of days, it is written that “the kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever” (Rev. 11:15b). On the journey to those days; however, a key question in the discussions of Yoder and Niebuhr is “whether the differences in the ways in which Christians conceive their duty and understand good and evil are simply correlated with the variety of cultural, psychological, and sociological patterns evident in their lives, or whether they may be related to variations in the Christian situation before God” (see page 19 in Authentic Transformation: A New Vision of Christ and Culture). This is by no means a small issue, especially as one seeks to communicate with the diverse cultures of our earth.
In a paper (1,500-2,000 words) using this module’s readings and Yoder’s and Niebuhr’s views, how would you respond to the aforementioned question? Was the “Christian situation before God” decided by Christ’s sacrifice? Why or why not? Explain and support your conclusions.
