Critical Social Theory
by Gary M. Simpson
Simpson ably introduces critical social theory, the German-born intellectual movement that has spawned sharp criticisms of modernity, its use of reason, and our highly technological, bureaucratic culture. Chapter 1 recounts the emergence of critical social theory within the Frankfurt School of Social Research and the theological stirrings that the Frankfurt project sparked, especially in Benjamin and Tillich. Chapter 2 explores Jurgen Habermas's reconception and expansion of critical social theory, especially his ideas about hermeneutics, praxis, and communicative action. Finally, in chapter 3 Simpson shows how theologians have employed critical social theory in fundamental, systematic, and practical theology, and he offers his own constructive proposal for their future interaction. Simpson's book will be invaluable for understanding this important intellectual development.

Churches In Struggle Liberation Theologies and Social Change in North America
Tabb, William K. (editor)
New York: Monthly Review Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1986. Softcover. 0853456933 . Text is clean. Cover shows normal shelfwear. Two creaselines along spine. ; From Back Cover: The progressive church in North America is increasingly a political force to be reckoned with. Widespread involvement in anti-intervention, sanctuary, and peace and justice causes has generated questions about the teachings of church heirarchies, and has at times even led to a defiance of the state. Often inspirited by the work of liberation theologians, particularly in Latin America, a growing number of church people have begun to examine theology, history, and activities of the church from the point of view of the oppressed. This development has in turn raised pressing questions for the secular left about the distance that it has traditionally maintained from the progressive religious community. ; Trade Paperback; 331 pages .
