The Wickham Lecture: Graham Ward, ‘The Politics of Discipleship: Becoming Postmodern Citizens’
Date: 22 May 2012 (7pm)
(As it says in the blurb to his recent book with this title:) ‘Internationally acclaimed theologian Graham Ward is well known for his thoughtful engagement with postmodernism’. He’s also Head of the School of Arts, Histories and Cultures at Manchester University; is one of the leading figures in the world of ‘Radical Orthodoxy’; and certainly amongst the most thought-provoking of contemporary Christian thinkers.
(From a review:) ‘First, this rich but densely argued book addresses the postmodern nature and definition of democracy, global culture, and religious practice. The second portion asks how contemporary thinking Christians are to deal with the postmodern world in which they live. Ward’s answer seems to be, somewhat shockingly, a renewed embrace of theocracy’.
Ah – but in what sense?
