In his book, ‘Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible’s Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life’, Christopher Watkin seeks to analyze and critique the culture through the Bible. He writes, “There is nothing quite so radically subversive today as sound doctrine and godly living.”

Tim Keller wrote the foreword for ‘Biblical Critical Theory’. And in this special season of Gospelbound, we’re exploring in depth several key influences that appear in Collin Hansen's book ‘Timothy Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation’.

Watkin teaches at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and in this episode, Collin Hansen and Watkin discuss the philosopher Charles Taylor and social criticism, which have played a key role in Keller’s intellectual formation since the mid-2000s.
