While modern critical theories seek to deconstruct society and reveal its injustices, Dr. Christopher Watkin makes the case that Christianity gives us the best resources to critique culture. Listen in to this special episode where Michael Horton interviews Dr. Christopher Watkin about the background of critical theory and how it compares to the Bible’s redemptive narratives.
