Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture A bold vision for Christians who want to engage the world in a way that is biblically faithful and culturally sensitive. In this book, Christopher Watkin shows how the Bible and its storyline help us make sense of modern life and culture. By examining the biblical story from Genesis to Revelation, Watkin exposes and evaluates the often-hidden assumptions and concepts that shape late-modern society, providing incisive and nuanced ways of intervening in today's debates on science, the arts, politics, dignity, multiculturalism, and equality. Through the lens of the biblical story, Watkin critiques and analyzes cultural artifacts and events, offering practical tools and methods for engaging with the world in a biblically faithful and culturally relevant way. This book is not about explaining the Bible to the culture, but about using the Bible to inform our engagement with the world. With extensive diagrams and practical tools, Watkin provides a fresh and nuanced approach to understanding our society and culture.
