Scripture, modern life and culture

Christopher Watkins

en Reviews Editor John Woods speaks to Christopher Watkin, author of Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible’s Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture.

The book will be published in the UK on 5 January and uses the ‘Biblical-Theological’ structure of Augustine’s City of God to show how Scripture can provide incisive, fresh, and nuanced ways of intervening in today’s debates on everything from science, the arts, and politics to dignity, multiculturalism, and equality. (The picture on the front page of en highlighting this article comes from a podcast about Critical Theory.)

en: You speak about how you were looking for a certain type of book when you were a student but couldn’t find it, so now you have written it.
