Critiquing Culture as Christians
CHRIS WATKIN
Chris Watkin joins the podcast to discuss his recent book Biblical Critical Theory, winner of Christianity Today's Book of the Year Award. He shares about the vision behind his recent book, the journey of faith and study that led to it, and how Christians can take up the same project as they work to interact with, critique, and call to repentance the world around them. Along the way Chris and Joel discuss Augustine's City of God, numerous biblical texts, current political questions, and much more!
