  Critical Theology is an account of some of the key issues facing contemporary theology, as well as an interpretation of some of the outstanding figures of 20th century thought. In the first part of the book, Jones examines the work of Barth, Harnack, Bonhoeffer, Rahner, Moltmann, Sobrino and Tracy. Against this backcloth Jones develops, in Part Two, an interpretation of the structure, dynamic and perspective of Christian theology in terms of mystery, event and rhetoric. Using these terms to construct a framework for critical theology, Jones offers a new agenda for discussing the task of the Christian theologian in the late 20th century. This work challenges theology to think seriously about how it addresses the social and cultural concerns of its audience as well as the context of religious pluralism within which it operates.
