    The document discusses Christianity's relationship to culture and how to influence culture from a Christian perspective. It examines speech-act theory and how words have illocutionary functions beyond just their literal meaning. It then outlines different Christian postures toward culture, including condemning, critiquing, copying, and consuming other cultures. The document argues that the only viable way to change culture is through creativity, as cultures are always full and adapting existing aspects will not create real change.
