| Summary: | Conflicts over the Scripture and culture exist in every culture. The purpose of this article is to show how the underlying epistemologies of Scripture and culture affect the responses given by well-meaning Christians concerning issues of the Scripture and culture. Once these epistemologies are understood, the interaction between the Scripture and culture can be better explained and critiqued. This reflection can then lead the Christian community to a position of critical engagement, whereby the Scripture and culture are fully engaged, resulting in a deeper understanding and appreciation of both. A case study concerning a drumming ban in the Builsa area of Ghana, West Africa, illustrates this. |
