Postmodernity: Christian Identity in a Fragmented Age

Guides to Theological Inquiry

by Paul Lakeland, Kathryn Tanner (Editor), David Lott (Designed by)

More than a guidebook to the postmodernity debate, Lakeland's volume clarifies the impulses and critical impetus behind the cultural, intellectual, and scientific expressions of postmodern thought. He goes on to identify the import and issues it presents for religion and for areas of Christian theology. Concentrating on God, Church, and Christ, Lakeland outlines the church's mission to the postmodern world, including a constructive theological apologetics.

Reviews

[Joseph · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good summary of postmodernism, which is very difficult to summarize. Educated, original, and well thought out ideas on the topic.

[Bryan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not rated 5 stars because I completely agree, but because this is a well-stated and positively postmodern statement of Christian identity which seems to radically avoid any us & them mentality toward other religious identities. Whether an approach this radical is necessary or faithful to the gospel is another question. The book was interesting, thought provoking, and challenging.
