Critical theory and its various manifestations, including critical race theory, critical pedagogy, and queer theory, are exerting a significant influence on our culture. The ideas propagated by contemporary critical theory have reshaped the way individuals think, behave, and perceive one another, irrespective of their religious affiliations. In their book, Critical Dilemma, authors Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer delve into the origins and influences of contemporary critical theory, examining it in the context of logical reasoning and biblical orthodoxy. While they acknowledge that critical theory can offer valuable insights into issues such as race, class, and gender, Shenvi and Sawyer expose the underlying false assumptions that underpin it. They argue that critical theory poses a significant threat to both the church and society as a whole.

Through extensive research and meticulous analysis, Shenvi and Sawyer condemn racism, urge Christians to pursue justice, and provide a roadmap for racial healing and unity. They also offer a robust critique of critical theory's numerous errors. By examining the origins and influences of contemporary critical theory, Critical Dilemma offers a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges and opportunities facing our society. It serves as a timely reminder of the importance of engaging in meaningful dialogue, seeking truth, and promoting social justice in all aspects of our lives.
