Overview
If one accepts the basic premise of the sociology of knowledge - thatour truths are values, culturally produced and culturally relative - then theology becomes problematic. Theologywishesto retain disciplinary autonomy. but the sociology of knowledge doesnot respect the boundaries that we erect between different kindsof knowledge. It is this particular challenge that is addressed in thismost original book. DanFrank argues that what is needed is a step-by-step re-evaluation of thetraditional theological affirmations in terms of these new cognitivecriteria, and theorizes that a new theology could be constructed bycritical reflection of the success and failures of modernity.
