We calculate the critical value of the hopping parameter, kappa (c), in lattice QCD with Wilson fermions, to two loops in perturbation theory. This quantity is an additive renormalization; as such, it is characterized not only by the standard caveats regarding the asymptotic nature of perturbative results, but also by a linear divergence in the lattice spacing. Consequently, our calculation tests rather stringently the limits of applicability of perturbation theory. We compare our results to non-perturbative evaluations of kappa (c) coming from Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, we apply a tadpole improvement technique to our results; this shifts them quite favorably towards the nonperturbative values.
