Milbank, John

Contemporary British theologian.   Milbank is one of the central figures of the ‘Radical Orthodoxy’ movement in British theology, which combines resources and insights drawn from postmodern philosophy with a radical reappropriation of Christian tradition and practice.  His major works are Theology and Social Theory: Beyond Secular Reason (1990) and The Word Made Strange: Theology, Language, Culture (1997).   Milbank has argued that the social sciences are often covertly based upon nihilist or anti-Christian assumptions.
