Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graham Ward examines the core skills, approaches and concepts employed in the study of theology and relates them to the work of relevant critical theorists. Distinguishing theology's concern with representation, history, ethics and the experience of transcendence, the book then reviews the work of two or three particular postmodern thinkers whose ideas challenge the traditional ways theology has handled these concerns. The book suggests the way in which the study of theology may be transformed through a developed engagement with contemporary critical theory.
