ISBN Converging on Culture ( Theologians in Dialogue with Cultural Analysis and Criticism ) book English Hardcover 224 pages

Theologians are increasingly looking to cultural criticism rather than philosophy as a dialogue partner for cross-disciplinary studies. This book explores the importance of this shift by bringing together scholars from a variety of theological perspectives to analyze different contemporary theories of cultural movements. The book is divided into two parts. The first examines the theoretical relationship between theology and cultural studies. The second consists of theological analyses of a series of controversial topics (including race class resistance movements and identity politics) that cry out for theological reflection.
