Converging on Culture: Theologians in Dialogue with Cultural Analysis and Criticism

by Delwin Brown (Editor), Sheila Greeve Davaney (Editor), Kathryn Tanner (Editor)

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.
