Introducing Radical Orthodoxy: Mapping a Post-Secular Theology
James K. A. Smith
Baker Academic, 2004-12-01 -- 291 pages
Although
God is making a comeback in our society, popular culture still takes
its orders from the Enlightenment, a movement that denied faith a
prominent role in society. Today, many are questioning this elevation of
reason over faith. How should Christians respond to a secular world
that continues to push faith to the margins? While there is still no
consensus concerning what a postmodern society should look like, James
K. A. Smith suggests that the answer is a reaffirmation of the belief
that Jesus is Lord over all. Smith traces the trends and directions of
Radical Orthodoxy, proposing that it can provide an old-but-new theology
for a new generation of Christians. This book will challenge and
encourage pastors and thoughtful laypeople interested in learning more
about currents in contemporary theology.
