Critical Theology is an exciting account of some of the key issues facing contemporary theology, as well as an original interpretation of some of the outstanding figures of twentieth century thought.
In the first part of the book, Gareth Jones examines the work of Barth, Harnack, Bonhoeffer, Rahner, Moltmann, Sobrino, and Tracy. Against this background he develops, in Part Two, an original interpretation of the structure, dynamic, and perspective of Christian theology in terms of mystery, event, and rhetoric. Using these terms to construct a framework for critical theology, Jones offers a new agenda for discussing the task of Christian theology in the late twentieth century.
Challenging contemporary theology to think seriously about how it addresses the social and cultural concerns of its audience as well as the context of religious pluralism within which it operates, Critical Theology makes an original and provocative contribution to ongoing debates.
