Abstract

I met Chris Watkin in an integrative scholars’ network in Australia, and it is a great pleasure to review his new book Biblical Critical Theory.

The work comes at the task of thinking Christianly in a thoroughly and uniquely biblical way. Chris seeks to bring biblical notions in contact with contemporary thinkers who are largely, but not exclusively, of the continental European philosophy tradition - hence “critical theory” in the title. What makes the book unique is that he not only brings biblical concepts in touch with our contemporaries, but he does so in such a way that his work inherits certain aspects of the bible itself.
