Contemporary critical theory's ideas about race, class, gender, identity, and justice have dramatically shaped how people think, act, and view one another--in Christian and secular spheres alike. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eCritical Dilemma\u003c\/i\u003e, authors Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer illuminate the origins and influences of contemporary critical theory, considering it in the light of clear reason and biblical orthodoxy. While acknowledging that it can provide some legitimate insights regarding race, class, and gender, \u003ci\u003e Critical Dilemma\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the false assumptions at the heart of critical theory, arguing that it poses a serious threat to both the church and society at large. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on exhaustive research and careful analysis, Shenvi and Sawyer condemn racism, urge Christians to seek justice, and offer a path forward for racial healing and unity while also opposing critical theory's manifold errors.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeil Shenvi\u003c\/b\u003e has an AB in chemistry from Princeton and a PhD in theoretical chemistry from UC Berkeley.
