It doesn't try to do to much, but it packs a lot into its few pages. It is the best summary of postmodern concepts that I have come across so far. Moreover, Heath's attempts to begin Christian interaction with postmodernisim are often quite helpful. In this regard, one of the books strengths how it demonstrate that Christianity is not fundamentally alligned with modernisim, postmodernisim, or even pre-modernisim. Through the book a major theme recurs - the rejection of authority. In many ways postmodernisim continues the modernist project of skeptisisim about any authority. Thus postmodernisim is susspicious of reason, recieved texts, metanarrative, and even language. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Finally, here's a book about postmodernism that you don't need a philosophy degree to understand. In Postmodernism 101: A First Course for the Curious Christian, Heath White offers a brief and accessible introduction to the ideas of postmodernism and its relationship to Christianity. White paints the historical and philosophical background underlying postmodernism in understandable, but not oversimplified, language. He then describes what postmodernism means to our view of self, language, thought, the search for knowledge, and culture. White invites Christians who otherwise might have avoided postmodern theorizing into this important dialogue with questions for further thought after each chapter and suggestions for future reading. This book is ideal for students as well as curious pastors and lay readers. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
