In part 1 of this 2 part look at Critical Theory, we take a look at the origins and philosophical principles that shape this worldview as well as some of the problems it creates.

 

PART 2

In part 2, we take a look at how this view of the world actually functions as a religion, how it compares to a Biblical view, and how Christians should engage these issues.
