Abstract

This essay argues that the debate about the usefulness of H. Richard Niebuhr's famous typology in<em>Christ and Culture</em>could benefit from the application of sociological methods to the discussion. As an example, it analyzes the results from a qualitative study of a particular church and its interaction with the heavy metal subculture in light of Niebuhr's categories. It concludes that Niebuhr's categories are still descriptively helpful although some of the critiques proposed by George Marsden and John Howard Yoder must be taken into consideration.
