In Christianity in culture, the author reflects the interaction of Christians and culture. Although the history of the church is often prominent in this book, the subject is not the history of the Church. The history of the Church, known as the Church, is important for this story because the Church, like all institutions, becomes an element of culture, reflecting and influencing ideas.
The church is an institution created to make Christianity real and tangible, and like all institutions, has changed over time in both structure and organization. For example, the reforms of the sixteenth century, for example, have such ramifications that it is no longer possible today to speak simply about the "Church" without acknowledging its dispersion.
Somerfield describes these competing ideas of Christianity without the support of either side. Instead, the author provides a cultural and historical background that enables the reader to understand the different positions of Christianity..
