Foreword, Preface, & Introduction Overview // Biblical Critical Theory by Christopher Watkin

The book, "Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture" is a modern update to Augustine's city of God from a talented author. In it, Watkin is using biblical theology and the storyline of redemption to move people to hope the Bible is true, (Watkin believing it is), and along the way critiquing culture through the lens of the Bible. But he is not just demolishing culture, he shows us why it shines, but also how the Bible and Christianity out-narrates and provides a better solution than any other cultural theory. This “is a book about the "so what?" of Christian belief. My aim in these pages is to paint a picture of humanity and of our world through the lens of the Bible and to compare aspects of this image to alternative visions. It is a book about how the whole Bible sheds light on the whole of life, how we can read and understand our society, our culture, and ourselves through the lens of the Bible's storyline. It does not try to explain and defend the Bible to the culture; it seeks to analyze and critique the culture through the Bible.” - Christopher Watkin, Biblical Critical Theory (p.2) My Hot Take: Written not just for the academic, but for the educated layperson and Christian leader too. At 600 pages, this is a must read for serious Christian thinkers. Those who press into this book will be rewarded. This is a book Christian's and others will be reading and interacting with for years to come. BOOK RESOURCES My Blog Post with Overview & Review: https://back2thewordblog.wordpress.co...
