Abstract
In the past, anthropologists defined culture as all learned behaviour that is socially acquired. More recently, the emphasis has shifted from learned behaviour to the communication of learned and of unlearned behavior. Lesslie Newbigin defined culture as "the sum total of ways of living developed by a group of human beings and handed on from generation to generation." Since religion is part of the sum total of ways of living, Christians have to ask themselves how the message of Scripture can best be passed on to different cultures and different generations. This article will introduce the reader to some of the gender- and-culture based approaches to the interpretation of Scripture.
