Christians in the Roman world found themselves in a cultural
setting of moral decadence, philosophical relativism and religious
pluralism. However, they narrated the
world in a new way. They did not accommodate the faith to the
culture but set forth the faith in a countercultural way. In a world that had no set beliefs, they
proclaimed, “We believe.” In a world
that had no ethic, they proclaimed, “We behave.” In a world where there was no belonging, they
declared, “We belong.”
Robert E. Webber, Who
Gets to Narrate the World?: Contending for the Christian Story in an Age of
Rivals, 51.
