Word and the World

If one accepts the basic premise of the sociology of knowledge - that<br/>our truths are values culturally produced and culturally relative - then theology becomes problematic. Theology<br/>wishes<br/>to retain disciplinary autonomy. but the sociology of knowledge does<br/>not respect the boundaries that we erect between different kinds<br/>of knowledge. It is this particular challenge that is addressed in this<br/>most original book. <br /><br />Dan<br/>Frank argues that what is needed is a step-by-step re-evaluation of the<br/>traditional theological affirmations in terms of these new cognitive<br/>criteria and theorizes that a new theology could be constructed by<br/>critical reflection of the success and failures of modernity.
