“Christians sometimes describe their faith as a force that runs counter to culture. I wonder if we have it backwards. Perhaps the city of God is the culture and the city of this world the counterculture. Perhaps Jesus the revolutionary was actually setting out a normal pattern for life on this planet as revealed by its Designer. That he appears radical and got murdered for his beliefs may say more about us than about him.”

—Philip Yancey in Rumours of Another World: What on earth are we missing?
