The Bible as a Critical Theory
The chapter explores how the Bible functions as a critical theory, shaping individuals' perspectives on trust, societal issues, and values by presenting God's promises, emphasizing societal injustices, and promoting the value of serving others. It delves into the book's goal of empowering Christians in public debates without conforming to secular norms, advocating for a dialogue between biblical insights and contemporary cultural questions.
