With or Against Culture?

Jean Bethke Elshtain has a great article at the Christian Vision Project entitled, With or Against Culture?. She notes that Christians can find much to love about the world while at the same time standing against it. She concludes,

People quite reasonably resist the ministrations of those whose proclamations are all negation. . . . If, instead, one criticizes in a manner that displays one's love and concern for the culture and country of which one is a part, then and only then will one be taken seriously.
