{"product_id":"hidden-threads","title":"Hidden Threads","description":"\u003ci\u003eHidden Threads: A Christian Critique of Sociological Theory,\u003c\/i\u003e provides a framework for making sense of the social world. Heddendorf finds in sociological theories some \"hidden threads\" - Christian principles woven into the fabric of society. Early Christian thought was radical in its approach to social life. Jesus provided a different concept of the person, and encouraged his followers to act upon this new understanding. Thus, in the early centuries after Christ, Christian social thought was a dynamic, positive, social force, but today the situation differs. Many Christians readily accept current interpretations of problems as valid. Consequently, in response to these modern explanations, Christians develop a form of secularized thought which supports popular solutions and fails to critically engage with the real issues of the day. \u003ci\u003eHidden Threads\u003c\/i\u003e is an examination and Christian critique of sociological theory, demonstrating appreciation for the richness of social life and holding in tension those theories that attempt to explain it.","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233882526040,"sku":"9780761849018","price":54.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780761849018.jpg?v=1769791537","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/hidden-threads","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
