A specialist in French philosophy and postmodernism, James K. A.

It also provides a selection of his criticism, including essays on Harry Potter, \u003cem\u003eA History of Violence\u003c\/em\u003e, the poetry of Franz Wright, and much more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Smith's work as a Christian public intellectual brings theological wisdom into the service of lived discipleship.
