Themes are considered from Derrida, Foucault, Mark C. Taylor, Rorty, and Cupitt, developing dialogue from an open-minded evangelical perspective. Ron Michener draws upon insights from radical postmodern thought and seeks to advance an apologetic approach to the Christian faith that acknowledges a mosaic of human sources including experience, literature, and the imagination. 410 0$aAshgate new critical thinking in religion, theology, and biblical studies. 606 $aTheology 606 $aDeconstruction 606 $aPostmodernism$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aTheology. 615 0$aDeconstruction. 615 0$aPostmodernism$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a230/.046 700 $aMichener$b Ronald T$01582280 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784501803321 996 $aEngaging deconstructive theology$93864534 997 $aUNINA
