In this interview with Jason Rennie at The Apologia Project, we talk in depth about Critical Theory generally and Critical Race Theory in particular.

Here I discuss how the first things of metaphysics and epistemology matter as we assess whether Christians can synthesize worldly philosophies like CT into their theology.

About Anthony Costello

Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago to a devout and loving Roman Catholic family, I fell away from my childhood faith as a young man. For years I lived a life of my own design-- a life of sin. But, at the age of 34, while serving in the United States Army, I set foot in my first Evangelical church. Hearing the Gospel preached, as if for the first time, I had a powerful, reality-altering experience of Jesus Christ. That day, He called me to Himself and to His service, and I have walked with Him ever since. You can read more about the author here.
