Woke: An Evangelical Guide to Postmodernism, Liberalism, Critical Race Theory, and More

A brief and balanced introduction and response to the culture of "woke" for busy people. "With the precision of a historian and clarity of a philosopher, John Stackhouse's slim volume Woke offers a tremendous resource to those who want to understand what postmodernism, critical (race) theory, DEI, and even "woke" mean in both scholarly and current political contexts. Woke resists political polarization as it outlines the origins of liberal and postmodern thought, traces the role of Christianity in shaping civic values, and offers a path for thoughtful Christian engagement, endorsement, and critique of these hot-button concepts." - Jessica Ann Hughes, Ph.D., Language and Literature Department Chair, George Fox University WOKE: AN EVANGELICAL GUIDE- introduces and explains a range of key ideas, from postmodernity to political correctness, which define aspects of woke culture; offers Christian reflection and practical advice to parents, students, pastors, educators, policymakers, and any other concerned citizens; and helps faithful Christians respond to those issues with clarity, charity, vigour, and effectiveness.
