Postmodernism: What You Should Know and Do About It

Like most people, when I first heard about postmodernism, I thought it was absolutely the most ridiculous and ludicrous worldview I had ever encountered. Initially, it sounded like just another meaningless mind game hatched by some intellectual types hidden away in an ivory tower somewhere. However, I've quickly learned that postmodernism is a reaction to the most profound spiritual and philisophical crises of our time and very indicative of the spiritual status of contemporary North America. After discovering the implications of a postmodern worldview, I was frustrated to discover that the vast majority of ministry resources, especially in the areas of church growth and evangelism were not geared towards reaching a postmodern culture. During this same period, over a burger and fries, some teen-agers from my church asked me, "What exactly is postmodernism and what should we be doing about it?" Minus the cheeseburger and fries, this book answers these two pertinent questions.
