    About this ebook

    Critical theory seems to be everywhere today. We find it in our businesses, government, civic institutions, and even churches. It claims its ideas are new, but are they? It also claims to remove oppression within society. Does it?

    These short essays provide a look at some of its foundational ideas. We’ll see they are not new at all. However, its ideas have serious consequences for society.

    Before we can act effectively in any situation, we must first understand. We have to learn if we don’t already know. These writings are intended to provide a step in that process.

    Dan Wolf

    Dan Wolf’s life can be divided into his career and vocation. By way of career, he is a successful professional with over twenty years’ experience helping organizations solve problems. He possesses a rich mix of research experience, analytical abilities, and the capability of turning complex abstract ideas into something tangible. These same skills of research, analysis, and communication carry over to his writing. He deeply believes that things do not happen in isolation; that understanding different facets leads to a better understanding of issues.He is a CPA with a Master’s degree in Finance and two years of doctoral coursework in human judgment and decision-making. He taught himself programming, and has extensive experience in utilizing technology to design and develop business processes that support cost modeling, performance metric development, financial and operational analysis, and the distribution of information from those processes. He has used analytical methodologies to identify cost improvement, cycle time reduction, data quality improvement, and human performance management opportunities.His vocation began at a young age with a penchant for history, but started in earnest with the events of 9/11. In trying to understand those events he has been led on a journey which has included learning the tenets of Islam, the contents and history of the Bible, and exploring Christian philosophical/theological thought related to our purpose. This purpose directly translates into how we should govern ourselves and is born out in the history of freedom’s development. Future works will focus on these and related topics.More articles by Dan Wolf can be found at the Virginia Christian Alliance website where he contributes on contemporary issues. http://www.vachristian.org/
