Our culture is not only hostile to biblical truth, but to the very concepts of truth and reality. Arguably, behind much of this hostility lies the ideology of ‘Critical Theory’. How should the Church respond? We discuss Christopher Watkin’s book, 'Biblical Critical Theory', 'That Hideous Strength' by the late Melvin Tinker and Dr Sharon James’s brand new booklet 'Critical Theory: Challenging Truth and Reality'.
 
 Part 4 of 4 in the Critical Theory: Challenging Truth and Reality series.

Pregnant men? We discuss non-Christian responses to Critical Theory in the shape of two books: 'Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything About Race, Gender and Identity – And Why This Harms Everybody' by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, and 'The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity' by Douglas Murray.

Dr Sharon James explains that Critical Theory’s assumption there is no transcendent God leads to an all-out assault on reality. She considers its impact on the Church and how Christians should respond.

‘Critical Theory’ is the ideology behind woke activism and cancel culture. People are facing fierce challenges at university or work because of this lethal blend of postmodernism and Marxism. As Dr Sharon James explains, it is a dangerous worldview that contrives to divide society into ‘the privileged’ and ‘the oppressed’.
