Ep. 107 - Critical Theory & The Christian - Dr. Neil Shenvi
Description
A BIG THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR, REDEEMER UNIVERSITY! WE APPRECIATE YOU HELPING US MAKE THIS CONVERSATION POSSIBLE. BE SURE TO CHECK THEM OUT AT WWW.REDEEMER.CA
Joining us for this important conversation on critical theory is Dr. Neil Shevi. Neil has done a lot of thought work in trying to understand this ideology that is antithetical to Christianity. We talk about trigger words like intersectionality, CRT and marxism. We hope this episode informs your thinking and inspires you to seek first the Kingdom of God and not the ideologies of this world.
