Converging on Culture: Theologians in Dialogue with Cultural Analysis and CriticismDelwin Brown, Sheila Greeve Davaney, Kathryn Tanner Theologians are increasingly looking to cultural analysis and 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 culture and cultural movements. The essays here examine the theoretical relationship between theology and cultural studies and then discuss a series of controversial topics that cry out for theological reflection. |
