Book Description
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 oftheological analyses of a series of controversial topics (including race, class, resistance movements, and identity politics) that cry out for theological reflection.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The book leaves one with hope, as Cady suggests, that the rise of cultural studies will serve as an antidote to theology's demise."-- The Journal of Religion
