Abstract
The relationship between Christian faith and culture continues to generate discussion. This issue is perennially relevant to the Indian church as it exists in a multicultural context. How should the Indian church practice its faith in a given culture? To what extent can its faith be enculturated? This article proposes a biblical hermeneutic of cultural accommodation and differentiation as a model for the Indian church. It examines the culture/customs of the patriarchs in the book of Genesis as a test case and argues that the narrator’s hermeneutic promotes the integration of culture with faith so long as both converge under the primacy of the latter.
