Michel Foucault (Great Thinkers)

Hugely influential, Michel Foucault's work has not only impacted a diverse range of disciplinesfrom history and sociology to fine arts, feminism, and gay and lesbian studiesbut has also profoundly shaped Western culture at a street level. Yet until now there has been no overarching systematic approach to his work from a Reformed perspectivelet alone one that is as fair and accessible as Watkin's. After walking us through key elements of Foucault's thought, Watkin both critiques and answers Foucault through the Bible's teaching on history, power, and identity. His insights are necessary reading for anyone who wants to engage thoughtfully with the ideas of our culture.
