keeping up w/postmodernism
Posted by tom | Jan 29, 2007Just received this from a faculty friend. Strongly stated truth. Although, I do find it helpful to understand the context/story of those with whom I am speaking (individually or in a larger group) in order to address spoken and unspoken concerns more directly by my own story, film, prayer, the Word of God, larger events, etc. Anyone have thoughts on the postmodern (or hypermodern) hype in the Christian sub-culture?
i think "sophisticated" christian leaders love to hear themselves talk about "postmodernism", and how the planet is now covered with an entirely new breed of animal...forgetting that people are the same old sinners still being created in the image of God, however muted and messed up....needs are the same...emphases may be a little different...but we don't have to bow down to, "oh, but these are postmoderns, you must respect them. they won't listen to you if you don't talk their language"....
