Critical Theology

Critical Theology is an approach that examines religious beliefs, texts, and practices through questioning, analysis, and reflection. It seeks to understand how religion influences society and individuals, often challenging traditional or dogmatic views. By combining insights from theology with critical thinking — including history, philosophy, and social science — it aims to deepen understanding, promote dialogue, and address contemporary issues. Essentially, Critical Theology encourages thoughtful examination of faith traditions, fostering a more nuanced and reflective engagement with religion that respects diverse perspectives while critically exploring their meaning and impact.
