To borrow a thought from The Merchants Of Cool, it's on a loop. Culture feeds into people; people feed into culture. Redeem one and the other will be seeded on some level.

I think the idea is to redeem the culture in order to reach the souls. At least that's the way I see it. I don't think the idea is to truly redeem the culture, per se, but to use it as a vehicle to reach the lost. Kind of like the apostle Paul saying he became all things to all people for the benefit of Christ. That's my thought.

Over at the Missional Baptist Blog I posed a question and so I pose it again here:
The discussion is about Mark Driscoll's book Radical Reformation and his view that we're called to redeem culture in all forms (music, arts, etc.).
Tim Challies is walking through a review on his blog and he asks the following:
The only area in which I found myself in potential disagreement with Driscoll is in his discussion of redeeming culture. I suppose I am not so sure that God has asked us to redeem culture. God's primary interest is, of course, in people. This is something I know Driscoll would affirm. But Driscoll would suggest that we are also to focus on the redemption of music, film, and every other area of culture. I am not so sure. I guess the trouble is that I do not see the biblical mandate for the redemption of culture. Neither does Driscoll provide satisfactory biblical proof. So this is an area to which I will have to dedicate further time and reflection.
So here's my question to you.
Would the redemption of culture not be a byproduct of the redemption of souls within that culture?
If answered in the affirmative are we talking mutually exclusive terms?
