The lights in the theater fade and the audience goes silent. Cue Critical Theory entering from stage right. Immediately, the crowd boo's and hisses...Critical Theory has become what Darth Vader was in the seventies and eighties...the ultimate villainous archetype.
"But, hold on a second," a student recently asked, "isn't Critical Theory, at least in a form, in the Bible?" After we work through the shock of such a supposition, it's not a bad question. "Take a look at the theological concept of the imputation of sin," reasons the student. "Here, we see God ascribing the consequences of sin to all of humanity for the sins of a single man, Adam. Nevermind whether or not that is fair, the issue is the similarity to Critical Theory. One of the main Evangelical knocks against Critical Theory is that a whole class of people are lumped into a bucket of 'oppressor' because of their ethnicity, gender, or faith. Isn't that what God does with humanity? He lumps us all into the class of 'sinner' because we are descendants of Adam? Doesn't that make God the ultimate Critical Theorist?"
Ouch.
But, Robby Lashua, regular KCC contributing guest and apologist from Stand to Reason, enters from stage left to answer the question...but does he save the day? Find out in today's episode!
