The Gospel Gets Americanized

This is an interesting, thought-provoking quote. It’s by Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the US Senate, quoted in the book The Church Between Gospel and Culture.

“When the Greeks got the gospel, they turned it into a philosophy. When the Romans got it, they turned it into a government. When the Europeans got it, they turned it into a culture. When the Americans got it, they turned it into an enterprise.”
