Theology and Contemporary Critical Theory

Finally, this important book proposes new directions within which tomorrow's theology may move, sketching a study of theology in the cultural context of postmodernity and a view of modernity as a pathological condition. The first edition of Theology and Contemporary Critical Theory (1996) was highly acclaimed and established the author as one of the leading thinkers in this field. For this second edition the text has been completely revised to take account of more recent work by the theorists discussed in the first edition. In addition the work of four other critical theorists is examined: Judith Butler, Michel de Certeau, the New Historicists and Jean-Luc Nancy.
