Coffee House Theology

I have a new study beginning this Sunday with the youth group. I have been reading a book entitled Coffee House Theology by Ed Cyzewski. The book lays out what I feel to be a fairly comprehensive look at what it means to practice theology in today's post-modern world.
There are probably some other books that have their own opinions of how to do this, but I think this book has an extremely Biblical approach
I highly recommend this book (http://www.navpress.com/store/product.aspx?id=9781600062773) to anyone who has a problem deciding how faith and culture relate to one another, or how one effects the other. Simply put, the main concept is understanding that we all to some extent practice a contextual theology. We are all biased in some way and we must understand that in order to truly appreciate, identify with, and speak prophetically to the culture around us.
Anyway, the book can also be supplemented with a Bible study guide (http://www.navpress.com/store/product.aspx?id=9781600062780) and a contemporary issues discussion guide (http://www.navpress.com/store/product.aspx?id=9781600062995).

The contemporary issues disussion guide is the guide we will start Sunday. The youth at my church represent a wide-array of student types. We have the popular, public schools athletes and the home-schooled fundamentalists. I am excited (intrigued is probably the better word) to see how this study goes. Tomorrow's study is on Social Justice. Talk about a broad topic! But the guide does a good job of focusing our attention, which will help.

Well, it will be interesting to say the least. I will report how it goes.
