Description: Theologians are increasingly looking to cultural analysis and criticism, rather than philosophy, as a dialogue partner for cross-disciplinary studies. This book explores the importance of this shift by bringing together scholars from a variety of theological perspectives to analyze different contemporary theories of culture and cultural movements. The essays here examine the theoretical relationship between theology and cultural studies and then discuss a series of controversial topics that cry out for theological reflection.
Review Quotes: "The book leaves one with hope, as Cady suggests, that the rise of cultural studies will serve as an antidote to theology's demise."-- The Journal of Religion
