Since the 1970s exciting new directions in the study of culture have erupted to critique and displace earlier, largely static notions. These more dynamic models stress the indeterminate, fragmented, even conflictual character of cultural processes and completely alter the framework for thinking theologically about them. In fact, Tanner argues, the new orientation in cultural theory and anthropology affords fresh opportunities for religious thought and opens new vistas for theology, especially on how Christians conceive of the theological task, theological diversity and inculturation, and even Christianity's own cultural identity.
Kathryn Tanner is Dorothy Grant Maclear Professor of Theology at the Divinity School, University of Chicago, and author of The Politics of God (1992), Theories of Culture (1997), and Jesus, Humanity, and the Trinity (2001), all from Fortress Press.
